About IANSA and IANSA Resources

The International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) is a global movement against gun violence that links organizations working to stop the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons.  We have Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, and are the official coordinator of civil society participation in UN meetings on small arms.

​

We are providing resources on this website--briefing papers, reports, UN Conference documents and videos--to support civil society organizations, government officials, journalists, students and individuals in their work on issues related to small arms and light weapons.
