If governments act predictably and transparently - including on their arms transfers - it builds confidence among them. It helps prevent conflict. For this purpose, countries can report to the UN Register of Conventional Arms (UNROCA).
Over the past two decades, UNROCA seems to have captured over 90% of the global arms trade.

UNROCA requests countries to report on their exports and imports. This is a built-in verification mechanism: is a shipment reported in the same way by the exporter as the importer? Not all reported transfers match.

Small arms category: Revolvers and pistols, rifles and carbines, sub-machine guns, assault rifles, light machine guns, other small arms

Light weapons category: heavy machine guns, hand-held under barrel and mounted grenade launchers, portable anti-tank guns, recoilless rifles, portable anti-tank missile launchers and rocket systems, mortars of calibres less than 75 mm, other light weapons
