Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Small arms and light weapons (SALW) cause much death and injury around the world, through war, homicide and suicide. The problems of SALW in south Asia have to be seen within a global context, but the region itself has special concerns which must be understood by the world. Ultimately these issues will only be resolved through international co-operation, which in turn requires people to become active in urging their political leaders to take the right path. |
