Small Arms and Security: New Emerging International Norms: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Small Arms and Security: New Emerging International Norms" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book examines the emergence of new international norms to govern the spread of small arms, and the extent to which these norms have been established in the policies and practices of states, regions and international organizations. It also attempts to establish criteria for assessing norm emergence, and to assess the process of norm development by comparing what actually happens at the multilateral level.

If norm-making on small arms and related multilateral negotiations have mostly dealt with illicit arms, and most of the norms examined here fall on the arms supplier side of the arms equation, the author argues that the creation of international norms and the setting of widely agreed standards amongst states on all aspects of the demand for, availability, and spread of both legal and illegal small arms and light weapons must become central to the multilateral coordination of policy responses in order to tackle the growing violence associated with small arms availability.

Small Arms and Security will be of interest to researchers and professionals in the fields of peace and conflict studies, global governance, international security and disarmament.

SMALL ARMS AND SECURITY The widespread availability of small arms has a - photo 1
SMALL ARMS AND SECURITY
The widespread availability of small arms has a profound effect on violence in all its forms. Over the past ten years, studies published by leading advocacy and research groups, as well as by regional and international governmental organizations denouncing armed violence, have provided much needed information about the extent of small-arms availability and demonstrated how it is one of the main factors contributing to the lack of human security worldwide. As a consequence, the international community has started to take steps toward actively controlling this scourge.
This book examines the emergence of new international norms to govern the spread of small arms, and the extent to which these norms have been established in the policies and practices of states, regions and international organizations. It also attempts to establish criteria for assessing norm emergence, and to assess the process of norm development by comparing what actually happens in the multilateral level.

FOREWORD
Small arms and light weapons assault rifles, machine guns, hand grenades, shoulder-fired rockets, and other weapons that are carried by individual soldiers are the instruments of death commonly employed in the terrible intrastate wars of the modern era. As conflicts within nation-states proliferate, the flood of small arms becomes a relentless torrent. Their easy availability in an international environment that tolerates violence leads to waves of human suffering and deaths too numerous to count with precision. We think that 15 million innocent civilians have lost their lives in the intrastate mayhem of the world since 1991. Millions more have been maimed. About 12 million have lost their homes and become refugees or internally displaced persons.
