Transfer of title and control
Views on the future operation of the Register
Expansion of the Register
The United State is pleased that the 2016 UN Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) decided to provide for reporting international transfers of small arms and light weapons (SA/LW) on the same basis as the traditional seven categories of heavy weapons (the 7+1 solution from the Arms Trade Treaty negotiations). Having States report on licit transfers of SA/LW to the UN Register will assist efforts to combat illicit trafficking and address the security concerns of States of many States. Although this is initially being done on a trial basis, we look forward to the decision of a future UN GGE to end the trial by expanding the UN Register ton include SA/LW as an eighth category.
