Implementing International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS) for Global Safety

The International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS) provide essential guidance for policymakers and practitioners on managing small arms and light weapons (SALW). These standards aim to prevent small arms from falling into the wrong hands, which can lead to violence, hinder peace efforts, and obstruct humanitarian aid. By incorporating gender perspectives, ISACS supports the effective control of SALW across their full life cycle, enhancing both security and development. This framework is used by various organizations and states to strengthen policies and practices related to arms control.
