	Security Dialogue vol
		The issue, however, is much broader than landmines – both in terms of the scope of the problem, as measured by the quantity of small arms in irresponsible hands or the number of civilian deaths and casualties, and in terms of factors related to the proliferation of these arms.
		Relatedly, though, the 26th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent commissioned the ICRC to examine the extent to which the availability of weapons contributes to the proliferation and aggravation of violations of international humanitarian law (the body of law that governs the conduct of war).(8)
		Developing international law barring small arms supply (usually covert) to non-state actors would be one of the most meaningful policies that concerned governments and NGOs could pursue to curb further dangerous small arms proliferation.

	WAR, PEACE AND THIRD WORLD DEVELOPMENT
		In all, counting internal displaced persons as well as international refugees, as many as thirty million people may have been forced to flee from their homes through the impact or the fear of war.
		On the other hand, if development is viewed solely in terms of per capita wealth, it is certainly true that there is a correlation between prosperity and peace or, viewed in darker terms, a link between poverty and war.
		Using a much narrower definition of war that excludes most modern armed conflict, one estimate indicates that in each of 1949 and 1950 there were six wars where as in 1989 and 1990 there were 13 and 15 wars respectively: Ruth Legers invard, World Military and Social Expenditures 1991.
