Observations
• There is a need to foster and strengthen regional approaches, accords and coordinated security responses to address illicit trafficking of small arms.
• There are distinct challenges in the ratification of regional agreements and in the implementation of these agreements in the field.
• There is great value in sharing “best practices” implemented at the national, bi-lateral and subregional levels.
• Access to information technology and shared databases is a prerequisite to implementation of other initiatives.

Observations
• There is a need for purposeful debate on illicit arms trafficking to be
initiated and sustained between all relevant stakeholders.
• There is a need for a multi-dimensional security approach that
includes a focus on societal factors.
• Consider using the Inter-American Defense Board (IADB) as part of
regional coordination efforts related to illicit arms trafficking.
• Border security is key to reducing the flow of small arms as well as
other forms of illegal trafficking.
