The UN Programme of Action provides the framework for activities to counter the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. It was adopted by all UN member states in 2001. Since that time the UN has worked to support the implementation of the UNPoA at national, regional, and international levels. It has hosted two Review Conferences in 2006 and 2012, four biennial meetings of states, and one meeting of government experts in 2011. Its most recent Review Conference was held in June 2018, with a preparatory committee in March 2018. By-products of the UNPoA include the International Tracing Instrument and the recommendations of a Group of Governmental Experts on arms brokering.
