This article in Jane’s (2016) shows how arms trafficking fuels insecurity across Latin America and the Caribbean, drawing on illegal sales, diversions from state arsenals, and the flow of weapons from the United States into Mexico.Also, Negotiated demobilisation of Colombian FARC insurgents in 2016 would be a major step forward, although it would bring high risks of weapons diversion if not managed alongside a comprehensive disarmament programme. In addition, weak regulatory frameworks are deficient in controlling flows of arms and ammunition, with the 2014 Arms Trade Treaty yet to prove its utility.
