The UN Biennial Meeting of States (BMS) on Small Arms was the first major follow-up to the 2001 UN Small Arms Conference. It took place in New York from the 7-11 July 2003 and civil society participation was a great success. The BMS was to consider implementation of the Programme of Action agreed at the 2001 UN Conference and was an invaluable opportunity for NGOs to promote their analysis of what governments have been doing (or not doing) to solve the small arms problem
