# Council Decision (CFSP) 2019/2191 of 19 December 2019 in support of a global reporting mechanism on illicit conventional arms and their ammunition to reduce the risk of their diversion and illicit transfer (‘iTrace IV’), Division 4.2.3: Project activities

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

The following activities will be undertaken in the framework of this project:
(a) the deployment of qualified arms experts to conduct in-field analysis of illicit conventional arms and their ammunition, recovered from conflict-affected states;
(b) the analysis, review and verification of documented evidence on conventional arms, their ammunition and their users, including, inter alia, photographic documentation, forensic exploitation, and obliterated mark recovery of weapons, their component parts and internal and external markings, packaging, and associated shipping documentation, combined with the results of field investigations (users, suppliers, and transfer routes);
(c) the uploading of all collected and reviewed evidence onto the iTrace information management system and, once verified, onto the iTrace online mapping portal;
(d) the identification and support to local partners to ensure sustained data collection in support of iTrace throughout the duration of the proposed Action and beyond;
(e) the continued liaison with Governments of the Member States to pre-define national points of contact, and a coordination mechanism, in order to clarify the scope of CAR's investigations, and alleviate possible conflicts of interest, in advance of its investigations.
The project will be implemented incrementally over the full three-year iTrace project period.
