# Council Decision (CFSP) 2017/633 of 3 April 2017 in support of the United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects, Division 2.3.1: Format

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The outcome document of the Sixth Biennial Meeting of States on the UN PoA (A/CONF.192/BMS/2016/WP.1/Rev.3) mandated UNODA ‘to examine, within existing resources, implementation trends, challenges and opportunities relating to the UN PoA and ITI, based on available information, including that submitted and/or provided by Member States, for presentation at the RevCon3 for its consideration and appropriate follow up’.
An informed, independent assessment of national reports on implementation is an essential source for, and addition to, that mandated report. The assessment of national reports is particularly important as it is expected that those reports will include information on the implementation of SDG 16, on which no other reporting mechanism exists. A comprehensive analysis by Small Arms Survey of national reports will therefore be a key activity under the project, for publication by the Small Arms Survey and feeding into the mandated forward-looking UNODA report. That comprehensive analysis will complement the thematic and regional meetings, and increase the likelihood that RevCon3 will meet the aspirations of the Union for a practical, focused and effective roadmap for the UN PoA in the post-RevCon3 period with a focus on connecting implementation challenges with opportunities for cooperation and assistance.
