International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)
The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database has been updated and now includes
information on all international transfers of major conventional
weapons from 1950 to the end of 2007. According to the newly released
data, there was an 8 per cent fall in international transfers of major
conventional weapons between 2006 and 2007. However, significant new
orders in 2007, particularly in the Middle East, South Asia and South
East Asia indicate that the overall rise in arms transfers since 2000
is likely to continue.

Arms Sales Monitoring
Project
The Arms Sales Monitoring Project (ASMP) seeks to increase
transparency, accountability and restraint in U.S. arms exports;
broaden the coalition of citizens working to strengthen arms export
controls; and to serve as a repository of data on U.S. arms transfers
and arms export controls.
For the past decade, we have reported on the U.S. government's arms
export policies and practices through the publication of reports and
articles, media outreach, and public speaking. Our objective is to get
information out to interested journalists, policy makers, and the
general public so that many people can act, achieving much more than we
alone can.

Campaign Against Arms
Trade
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) was set up in 1974 by a number of
peace and other organisations who were concerned about the growth in
the arms trade following the Middle East war of 1973. It is a broad
coalition of groups and individuals in the UK working to end the
international arms trade. This Trade has a negative effect on human
rights and security as well as on global, regional and local economic
development. In seeking to end it CAAT's priorities are to:
end government subsidies and support for arms exports;
end exports to oppressive regimes;
end exports to countries involved in an armed conflict or region of
tension;
end exports to countries whose social welfare is threatened by military
spending;
support measures, both in the UK and internationally, which will
regulate and reduce the arms trade and lead to its eventual end.
