He urged nations importing small arms and light weapons to take necessary measures, especially preventive ones, to avoid the diversion of such weapons to illegal activities.  He also emphasized that nations must move towards a harmonization of laws on the control of small arms at the regional and international levels.
He said his Government was working to implement the Programme of Action, organizing training programmes, and strengthening public awareness of the issue of the illicit small arms and light weapons trade.  Multilateral action could spur the successful implementation of the Programme of Action.
