Book excerpt: This publication assesses the reports submitted to the UN by member states during 2003 on the progress they have made towards implementation of the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons (PoA). This is based on a joint project undertaken by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Department for Disarmament Affairs (UNDDA) and the UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), in collaboration with the Small Arms Survey. Findings include that 103 out of 191 member states submitted annual reports during 2003, with progress made on implementation of the PoA in the areas of national legislation, weapons collection and destruction, and public awareness.
