South Eastern Europe Clearinghouse for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons
Abstract
SEESAC has a responsibility within its mandate to gather and disseminate information on Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) in order to support SALW control initiatives within South Eastern and Eastern Europe. In May 2003 SEESAC agreed to develop a framework and then take responsibility for the future development of regional micro-disarmament standards and guidelines (RMDS/G), which would be designed to support SALW control work at the operational level. The RMDS/G reflect the development of operational procedures, practices, and norms that have been applied over the past several years in the area of SALW control.
