The publication Enhancing the Understanding of Roles and Responsibilities of Industry and States to Prevent Diversion aims to enhance the understanding of how all relevant actors can work to prevent the diversion of conventional arms. Diversion poses a significant threat to societies around the globe, limiting the effectiveness of arms control initiatives and frustrating attempts to regulate or catalogue flows of conventional arms, ammunition and parts and components. All private sector actors involved in the international trade in conventional arms have a role to play in preventing diversion.
