INTRODUCTION
The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database contains information on all inter-
national transfers of major conventional weapons (including sales, gifts and
transfers of technology) to states, international organizations and armed
non-state groups since 1950.1 The database can be used to track changes in the trends in the volume of transfers of major conventional weapons and to
answer such questions as:
• Who are the main suppliers and recipients of major conventional
weapons?
• How have the relationships between diff erent suppliers and recipients changed over time?
• Where do countries in confl ict get their weapons from?
• How do states implement their export control regulations?
• Where are destabilizing build-ups of weapons occurring today?
