Abstract
In recent years, international forums have made significant advances in addressing the problem of the criminal violence fed by the transnational trafficking in firearms. This progress was evidenced in March 2001, when negotiations on the UN Protocol Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, their Parts and Components and Ammunition were completed. The Protocol creates a baseline for criminal conduct by setting a legal standard for the firearms trade. It provides for an international system to document and trace legal flows of firearms. This is reinforced by requirements concerning the transparent marking of firearms. While there is broad political support for this measure, effective implementation will require international co-ordination efforts to be stepped up.
