Safety, transparency, control and accountability are key issues in effective disarmament programme management.

In a world where conflicts seem to occur on a daily basis, disarmament of paramilitary and other armed groups has become a key factor in the stabilization of regions and populations.

Disarmament involves the organized surrender, collection and processing of weapons and associated accessories from paramilitary and other groups, often in a post-conflict situation. This process demands a pragmatic and methodical approach to ensure safety, transparency, control and accountability to all concerned.

In addition to weapons, disarmament includes the handing over of significant quantities of munitions and explosives. These items, which have often been subjected to rough handling or  dangerous alteration, will require to be processed in a safe manner to prevent the items becoming more unstable and functioning during handling or transportation.
