Arms Control
W ha t are small arms and light
weapons?
Small arms and light weapons refers to

weapons that can be carried by a
single person, either for military or
civilian use. The term is often
shortened to “small arms” or
“SALW”. It covers a wide range of
weapons- pistols, machine guns and
other firearms, to grenades,
portable anti-tank systems and
mortars.
Small arms are weapons of mass How they affect
destruction, killing hundreds of
thousands of people around the
Human Rights?
world each year. That’s far higher
than the casualty count from
conventional weapons of war like
tanks, bomber jets or warships..
These lethal weapons are relatively
cheap, highly portable, easily
concealable, long lasting, and so easy
to operate that a child as young as
eight years old can carry and use
themselves. These characteristics
make small arms particularly easy to
traffic illegally, and to use in
violations of human rights. They are
often sold illegally in exchange for
hard currency or goods such as
diamonds, drugs, or other
contraband. Millions of these
weapons- in fact, the majority- are
owned by civilians.

I S I P I N NATIN:

buhay na
