Description

Recent events in Colombia underscore the complex dynamics of its illicit small arms and light weapons (SALW) trade, notably influenced by Venezuelan sources. The frequent seizure of diverse weaponry—including AR-15 rifles, Venezuelan-marked AK-103s, and military-grade arms—highlights extensive diversion from military stockpiles in both countries. Addressing this challenge requires cross-border cooperation, improved security of arms stocks, and comprehensive efforts targeting the broader regional drivers of armed conflict.
