The Small Arms Survey 2009 focuses on the security challenges facing post-conflict societies.
'By providing informed reflection on recent developments in
post-conflict security promotion, the Small Arms Survey 2009 makes
an important contribution to efforts to assist war-affected
societies in securing lasting peace.' Martti Ahtisaari, Former
President of Finland, 2008 Nobel Peace Prize laureate
'The Small Arms Survey consistently serves as an invaluable
resource to diplomats, practitioners, and other stake-holders
involved in the development and implementation of small arms
policy. In assessing post-conflict security challenges, transfer
controls, and next steps in the UN small arms process, the Small
Arms Survey 2009 makes another vital contribution to our collective
efforts to curb the proliferation and misuse of small arms.'
Ambassador Dalius Cekuolis, Former Chairperson, Third Biennial
Meeting of States on the UN Programme of Action
'The Small Arms Survey 2009 underscores the terrible impact of
conflict on children and youth. It highlights children's
vulnerabilities, and in some cases, their resilience. It also
explains how some children are drawn deeper into conflict as
perpetrators of violence. I hope the Survey will embolden our
efforts to stop the spread of the weapons that fuel such profound
suffering.' Graça Machel, President, the Foundation for Community
Development; Chairperson, the African Centre for the Constructive
Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD)
