The Arms Law Compendium

Abstract

One of the functional areas covered by SEESAC's mandate is addressing the legislative and regulative issues of stakeholder nations in South Eastern Europe. Our work in this field mostly concentrates on support to the regional harmonisation of arms control and export legislation, including the provision of independent, impartial and neutral legal advice to regional govern-ments for the development of effective and appropriate legislation.

Tackling small arms and light weapons (SALW) issues in many instances demands a cross-border approach, and thus coordination of actions and initiatives between governments and as well as international stakeholders is imperative. Legislative approximation is at the core of this process, as it is the institutional framework which allows for internal, and importantly, regional and wider international cooperation in this matter.
