  • Preface the SMALL ARMS PLAGUE During the 1990S, Millions Have Died in Armed Conflicts and in Their Immediate Aftermath
    The Arms Fixers Preface THE SMALL ARMS PLAGUE During the 1990s, millions have died in armed conflicts and in their immediate aftermath. Most of the victims have been civilians. And most of them have been killed by small arms such as automatic rifles, submachine guns, grenades and other weapons that a single person can easily carry and use. The widespread availability of small arms is a global plague that rages more or less out of control. There is little systematic information about it, though the suffering it causes is well understood. Not only are small arms the commonest weapons in armed conflicts (as well as in crime and in political repression) – their very presence makes it hard for war-torn societies to recover from conflict. The easy availability of small arms can make war more likely in tense situations, more vicious once started, and harder to recover from once over. This is a problem with many dimensions. There is both a legal and an illegal trade in small arms. One aspect that makes the trade extremely difficult to monitor, let alone control, is the role of the middlemen – the brokers and the shipping agents, the deal-makers who arrange for the shipment of quantities of small arms and associated military and paramilitary equipment, sometimes new, sometimes second-hand. This is one part of the problem about which there is particularly little information, and an aspect with which governments have not yet come to grips. Arms brokers and gunrunners have been able to get hold of surplus stocks of weapons, no longer needed now that the Cold War has ended.

In such a troubled world, where travel restrictions for certain citizenships are increasingly common, it’s logical for people to look for alternatives in order to increase their safety, to pay less taxes and to have a greater freedom of movement. One of the most used options currently is the search for a second passport, above all in the Caribbean countries that offer various citizenship programs, starting with property investments and donations to the government. There are various reasons why people opt for a second passport, going from political instability in their residential country, and going through having to pay very high taxes up to problems with security. The countries that offer citizenship by investment have two options for those interested in obtaining a second passport: making an investment in property or making a donation to the Government. For example, the donation to government includes the presentation of a non-refundable amount of money to the Government. Before transferring the funds, the Government carries out the due diligence on the application of the requester, who can also include all of his dependents above the age of 16.
