2 A/59/193 I. Introduction

1. In its resolution 58/54, the General Assembly called upon Member States, with a view to achieving universal participation, to provide the Secretary-General by 31 May annually with the requested data and information for the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms, including “nil” reports, if appropriate, on the basis of its resolutions 46/36 L and 47/52 L and the recommendations contained in the 1997, 2000 and 2003 reports of the Secretary-General on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development (A/52/316, para. 64; A/55/281, para. 94; and A/58/274, para. 113). In addition, the Assembly invited Member States in a position to do so, pending further development of the Register, to provide additional information on procurement from national production and military holdings, and to make use of the “Remarks” column in the standardized reporting form to provide additional information such as types or models. 2. In the same resolution, the General Assembly reaffirmed its decision, with a view to the further development of the Register, to keep the scope of and participation in the Register under review, and to that end recalled its request to Member States to provide the Secretary-General with their views on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development and on transparency measures related to weapons of mass destruction. In accordance with that request, the Secretary-General has received views from Sweden and the European Union. Those views are contained in the annex to the present report. 3. In the same resolution, the General Assembly endorsed the report of the Secretary-General on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development (A/58/274) and the recommendations ensuing from the consensus report of the 2003 Group of Governmental Experts contained therein, and requested the Secretary-General to implement those recommendations. The scope of the Register has accordingly been adapted in conformity with those recommendations. These adjustments, which involved lowering the reporting threshold to 75 mm for large-calibre artillery systems (category III) and the exceptional inclusion of Man- Portable Air-Defence Systems (MANPADS) transfers in the Register under the category of missiles and missile launchers (category VII), are reflected in the present report. The Group also noted that interested Member States, if they wished to do so, could include transfers of small arms and light weapons in their annual report to the Register as additional background information. 4. Pursuant to the recommendations of the 2003 Group of Governmental Experts, the Department for Disarmament Affairs engaged in a number of activities to enhance awareness of the Register and to encourage greater participation in it. On 20 October 2003, the Department organized a session with the Disarmament Fellows in which presentations were made on the Register by Ambassador Chris Sanders of the Netherlands and Ambassador Roberto Garcia Moritan of Argentina. The Department also coordinated and facilitated the statements made by a number of Member States on the Register during the thematic discussion at the 2003 regular session of the First Committee. On 4 February 2004, the Department made a presentation on the 2003 report of the Group of Governmental Experts on the Register in a plenary session of the Forum for Security Cooperation of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) at OSCE headquarters in Vienna. On 23 March 2004, the Department discussed the progress of the Register in a plenary session of the Committee on Hemispheric Security of the

3 A/59/193

Organization of American States (OAS) at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C. On 26 April 2004, the Department made a presentation on the Register with particular reference to the status of small arms and light weapons at a regional workshop hosted by the Government of Argentina in Buenos Aires and co- sponsored by the Government of the United Kingdom. From 18 to 20 May 2004, the Department organized a subregional workshop, with the financial assistance of Sweden and the United Kingdom, in Nairobi, covering the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region. The operation and procedures of the Register were discussed in detail, as well as the work of the 2003 Group of Governmental Experts. In addition, in January, the Department published a booklet, with the assistance of the United Kingdom, highlighting the salient features of the 2003 report of the Group of Governmental Experts on the Register, which was distributed at the workshops and meetings mentioned above. 5. The present report is the twelfth consolidated report issued by the Secretary- General since the establishment of the Register. The report contains data and information provided by 106 Governments on imports and exports of conventional arms covered under the Register: battle tanks, armoured combat vehicles, large- calibre artillery systems, attack helicopters, combat aircraft, warships and missiles and missile launchers for the calendar year 2003. It includes additional information provided by Governments on procurement from national production and military holdings. The replies received are contained in sections II and IV. Any additional replies received from Governments will be issued as addenda to the present report. 6. Section III of the present report contains an index of the background information submitted by Governments in accordance with paragraphs 10 and 18 of resolution 46/36 L and paragraph 5 of resolution 47/52 L. The background information is available for consultation at the Department for Disarmament Affairs of the Secretariat.

97 A/59/193 Annex Views received from Governments in accordance with paragraph 7 of General Assembly resolution 58/54

Sweden

[Original: English] [29 June 2004]

Sweden has previously communicated the view that the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms will promote transparency and confidence most effectively if the information provided is relevant for shedding light on the “military ability” of the reporting country. Furthermore, the importance of developing reporting in a regional context has been stressed. Under the current provisions, Sweden only reports on equipment that is in the legal possession of the Swedish State, which has been or is about to be deployed to its armed forces. Transfer of equipment for other reasons (museum exhibits, testing for procurement, loans to United Nations units etc.) is not reported. Moreover, Swedish rules require that equipment accounted for as exports or imports has to have been physically transferred across the Swedish borders to be included in the report. In Sweden’s opinion, one shortcoming of the Register is that it does not require reporting on individual components, which constitute a significant part of the international arms trade. For example, in 1999 Sweden imported a large number of Leopard tanks that were not reported as the tanks were assembled in Sweden out of imported components. Finally, it is Sweden’s belief that all United Nations Member States should report to the Register. Sweden has actively sought to enhance the profile of the Register in different forums in order to make it better known to the mass media and public.

98 A/59/193

European Union

[Original: English] [25 June 2004]

Common reply by the European Union to General Assembly resolution 58/54 on transparency in armaments 1. In resolution 58/54, paragraph 7, the General Assembly requests United Nations Member States to provide the Secretary-General with their views on the continuing operation of the Register of Conventional Arms and its further development and on transparency measures related to weapons of mass destruction. 2. The member States of the European Union continue to consider transparency in armaments as an important instrument for building confidence and security between States. The Register is an important and concrete measure in that respect. 3. The Register provides data on the international arms transfers of categories of conventional arms that are potentially destabilizing when accumulated excessively. It serves to enhance transparency, build confidence and promote better understanding among States. The member States of the European Union are committed to securing the widest possible participation in the Register to improve its effectiveness. Contacts made by the Union with non-participating States in support of securing wider participation have shown that only in exceptional cases is non-participation motivated by disagreement with the concept embodied in the Register. 4. All United Nations Member States are encouraged to submit data promptly to the Register, including “nil” reports. The member States of the European Union furthermore believe that the inclusion of data on military holdings and procurement through national production would make the Register more complete. 5. The member States of the European Union welcome all efforts to further strengthen the role of the Register in the field of conventional arms control. The member States of the European Union welcome the consensus report of the 2003 Group of Governmental Experts and the recommendations therein and the decision of the General Assembly to adapt the scope of the Register by lowering the reporting threshold of artillery systems from 100mm to 75mm and including the inclusion of Man-Portable Air-Defence Systems (MANPADS) as a subcategory under the existing category of missiles and missile launchers. In our view, this will be an important step in further strengthening the Register. The European Union also appreciates the possibility of including, on a voluntary basis, transfers of small arms and light weapons in the annual report to the Register. 6. The member States of the European Union agree that transparency in armaments is important and that measures aimed at enhancing such transparency should be developed. They would like to point out, however, that measures in the field of conventional arms should be distinguished from those aimed at increased transparency in the field of weapons of mass destruction. If such a distinction is not made, the viability of the Register will be affected and increased participation and transparency jeopardized. 7. The member States of the European Union, for their part, will continue to participate actively in all appropriate forums and to discuss transparency measures which can contribute to increased confidence and greater security among all United Nations Member States.
