Past Event
When weapons or ammunition are diverted, how can affected parties respond? What measures can governments and other stakeholders take after discovering diversion to prevent its recurrence?
This virtual event will focus on how unpacking recent diversion cases can help inform effective diversion prevention and mitigation measures. Based on an anonymized case study from Conflict Armament Research, this event will detail the experience of an Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) State Party and how they responded to a diversion case by implementing post-shipment verification measures to verify that transferred weapons are in the custody of a specific end-user.
Panelists will also discuss the importance of international cooperation and information exchange platforms, such as the ATT’s Diversion Information Exchange Forum (DIEF), and other useful tools enabling States to report and learn from concrete cases of suspected or detected diversion.
