In December of last year, the UN determined to hold a conference in June/July 2001 to develop a plan of action to control illegal trade in small arms and light weapons. Though the conference is almost a year away, its Website already boasts plenty of material, including working papers, discussion papers, reports from the Secretary-General, press releases, resolutions from the General Assembly, and more. For the general user, one of the more interesting sections of the site may be the Views of States section which gives brief (1-2 page) opinions on the issues and the conference from various countries.
