Summary:	Examines the different aspects of SALW (Small Arms and Light Weapons) tracing and marking practices and international legal instruments currently in place. The volume argues that existing marking, record keeping and tracing cooperation need to be substantially improved in order to facilitate more effective tracing. An international instrument building on existing norms and standards, including those contained in regional agreements, could play an important role in this regard.
