I. Introduction

1. In accordance with General Assembly resolution 46/36 L of 9 December 1991, on transparency in armaments, the Secretary-General, on 1 January 1992, established the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms. In that resolution, the General Assembly called upon all Member States to provide annually data on imports and exports of conventional arms in the seven categories covered under the Register. It also invited Member States, pending the expansion of the Register, to provide to the Secretary-General, along with their annual report on imports and exports of arms, available background information regarding their military holdings, procurement through national production and relevant policies, and requested the Secretary-General to record that material and to make it available for consultation by Member States at their request. 2. At its forty-seventh session, the General Assembly, by its resolution 47/52 L of 15 December 1992 on transparency in armaments, called upon all Member States to provide the requested data and information to the Secretary-General by 30 April annually, beginning in 1993, and encouraged Member States to inform the Secretary-General of their national arms import and export policies, legislation and administrative procedures regarding both the authorization of arms transfers and the prevention of illicit transfers, in conformity with paragraph 18 of resolution 46/36 L. In subsequent resolutions, the General Assembly reiterated that request.1 3. Pursuant to requests by the General Assembly,2 the Secretary-General, with the assistance of a group of governmental experts, prepared reports on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development in 1994, 1997 and 2000. Those reports were submitted to the General Assembly at its forty-ninth, fifty-second and fifty-fifth sessions (A/49/316, A/52/316 and A/55/281). 4. By its resolution 49/75 C and by subsequent resolutions,3 the General Assembly decided to keep the scope of and participation in the Register under review and, to that end, requested 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. The views of Member States were contained in reports of the Secretary-General on the subject (A/50/276 and Add.1; A/51/300 and Add.1-5; A/52/312 and Corr.1 and 2 and Add.1-4; A/53/334 and Corr.1 and 2 and Add.1 and 2; A/54/226 and Corr.1 and Add.1-6; A/55/299 and Corr.1 and Add.1-6; and A/56/257 and Add.1 and 2). 5. At its fifty-sixth session, the General Assembly, in its resolution 56/24 Q of 29 November 2001, 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 Register, including “nil” reports if appropriate, on the basis of resolutions 46/36 L and 47/52 L and the recommendations contained in the 1997 and 2000 reports of the Secretary-General on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development (A/52/316, para. 64, and A/55/281, para. 94, respectively). 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 ______1 Resolutions 48/75 E, 49/75 C, 50/70 D, 51/45 H and 52/38 R. 2 Resolutions 47/52 L, 48/75 E, 49/75 C, 50/70 D, 51/45 H, 53/77 V, 54/54 O and 55/33 U. 3 Resolutions 50/70 D, 51/45 H, 52/38 R, 53/77 V, 53/77 S, 54/54 O and 55/33 U.

military holdings, and to make use of the “Remarks” column in the standardized reporting form to provide additional information, such as types or models. 6. By 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 paragraph 4 (a) of the resolution, the Secretary-General has received views from Denmark (on behalf of the European Union) and Kazakhstan. Those views are contained in the annex to the present report. 7. Furthermore, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General, with the assistance of a group of governmental experts to be convened in 2003, on the basis of equitable geographical representation, to prepare a report on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development, taking into account the work of the Conference on Disarmament, the views expressed by Member States and the reports of the Secretary-General on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development, with a view to a decision at its fifty-eighth session. 8. The General Assembly also requested the Secretary-General to implement the recommendations contained in his 2000 report on the continuing operation of the Register and its further development (A/55/281). 9. Pursuant to those recommendations, the Secretariat engaged in a number of activities to enhance familiarity with and encourage greater participation in the Register of Conventional Arms. The Department for Disarmament Affairs cooperated with the Governments of Canada, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands in the holding of two subregional workshops on transparency in armaments devoted specifically to the Register of Conventional Arms and the standardized instrument for reporting military expenditures. The workshops were held in Accra on 26 and 27 March 2002, with the participation of the States members of the Economic Community of West African States, and in Windhoek on 19 and 20 June 2002, for the States members of the Southern African Development Community. In addition, the Department participated in a session of the Committee on Hemispheric Security of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C., on 26 April 2002, which was partly devoted to the Register. The Department also organized an informal meeting of delegates on the Register and the standardized instrument for reporting military expenditures at United Nations Headquarters on 18 October 2001. In addition, in December 2001, the Department published a booklet entitled “Facts and Figures: 1992-1999”, which provides information on participation by Governments in the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms during the calendar years from 1992 to 1999. The booklet was printed with the assistance of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In accordance with the recommendations of the group of experts (A/55/281, sect. VI, B), to ensure that all relevant information is available electronically, the Department maintains the United Nations Register web site.4

II. Information received from Governments5

10. Information received from Governments is presented in the present section of the report as follows: (a) a complete table listing all the replies received by the Secretary-General, and (b) individual replies of Governments. Where appropriate, the relevant parts of notes verbales are also reproduced. 11. The composite table is provided for ease of reference. As regards the information contained in the table, it should be noted that a “yes” denotes a submission of data regarding imports and/or exports in relation to the seven categories of arms covered by the Register during the reporting period. For the purpose of uniform tabulation, responses by Governments that contained either “nil”, “none”, “0”, a dash (-), or which otherwise indicated that no exports and/or imports in the categories covered by the Register had taken place, are reflected in the tables as “nil” reports. A blank space under data on imports and/or exports in the composite table indicates that no information was provided. In some cases, however, an explanation can be found in the note verbale of the country in question, as indicated above. Only those parts of the standardized forms that contain specific data and notes verbales of Governments providing relevant information are reproduced in part B of this section. Replies in standardized forms or in notes verbales containing “nil” or blank reports are listed in the composite table only.

* Relative to last year’s submission (data for calendar year 2000) for U.S. military holdings, reductions in totals reflect continued downsizing actions. Increases in categories IV and VII reflect better accounting procedures.

Background information

The U.S. considers that its transfers of military equipment occur at the time ownership title for the equipment is transferred between the U.S. and another country. The 2002 submission therefore includes equipment whose title was transferred during the 2001 calendar year.

Annex Views received from Governments in accordance with paragraph 4 (a) of General Assembly resolution 56/24 Q

European Union

1. In resolution 56/24 Q, the General Assembly requested States Members of the United Nations 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. 2. The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union and the associated countries Cyprus, Malta and Turkey and the European Free Trade Association countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway align themselves with the following common reply of the States members of the European Union on General Assembly resolution 56/24 Q. 3. The States members of the European Union consider transparency in armaments an important instrument in building confidence and security between States. The United Nations Register of Conventional Arms is an important and concrete measure in this respect. 4. The Register provides data on international arms transfers of those categories of conventional arms which are potentially destabilizing when accumulated excessively. It serves to enhance transparency, build confidence and promote better understanding among States. The States members of the European Union are committed to securing the widest possible participation in the Register and improving its effectiveness. In this context, contacts of 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. 5. All States Members of the United Nations are encouraged to submit data promptly to the Register, including “nil” reports. The States members of the European Union furthermore believe that inclusion of data on military holdings and procurement through national production would make the Register more complete. 6. The States members of the European Union welcome all efforts to further strengthen the role of the Register in the field of conventional arms control. In this respect the members of the European Union welcome the initiative by the United Nations Department for Disarmament Affairs, together with Germany, Canada, Japan and the Netherlands, to organize regional and subregional seminars on the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms and the United Nations standardized reporting system on military expenditures in 2002. The aim of the workshops will be to explain the purpose and importance of these United Nations instruments in the field of transparency in armaments. In doing so, the workshops should contribute to the widest possible participation in both reporting instruments. In this context the members of the European Union are pleased with the first successful subregional seminar, which was held in Ghana for the nations of the Economic Community of West African States in March 2002.

86 A/57/221

7. The States members of the European Union would consider work of the Conference on Disarmament in the field of transparency in armaments of continuing value and hope that agreement can be reached on a mandate for an ad hoc committee to study possible further transparency measures and ways in which the Register can be strengthened. 8. The States members 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. 9. The States members of the European Union, for their part, will continue to participate actively in all appropriate forums to discuss transparency measures which can contribute to increased confidence and greater security among all States Members of the United Nations. 10. The States members of the European Union are committed to the effective functioning of the Register and its further development and call upon all Members of the United Nations to provide the data and information requested.

Kazakhstan

[Original: English] [14 May 2002] The Republic of Kazakhstan fully supports the continuing operation of the Register and its further development.
