UNIDIR. 2020 ‘Identification & Tracing.’ Weapons and Ammunition Management Country Insight: Liberia; 6, p. 7. Geneva: United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research / UNIDIR. 11 November

Relevant contents

The baseline assessment revealed that while tracing and investigative activities were undertaken in cooperation with UNMIL during the time of United Nations peace operations, such activities have been limited since 2016 following the drawdown of the mission.

Participants of the baseline assessment agreed that capacity building on accurate identification of arms and ammunition would be greatly beneficial across all security services. A national policy on tracing illicit weapons would be an essential starting point to drive this work forward.
