OAS Organizes Workshop on Firearms Marking in Suriname
August 5, 2013
The Organization of American States (OAS) will offer a training workshop in Suriname this Tuesday, August 6, and Wednesday, August 7, on the use of firearms marking equipment donated by the Organization in May.
The two-day course will take place at the conference room of the police headquarters in Paramaribo, and will be directed to eight members of the police force directly involved in marking weapons. The participants will be trained in the use of the firearms marking machine, including setup and calibration, data configuration, storage and technical procedures related to marking, and recordkeeping.
The project “Promoting Firearms Marking in Latin America and the Caribbean” aims to strengthen the national capacity of 31 countries in the region with regards to firearms marking and recordkeeping. To date, the OAS has provided 25 countries with at least one dot-peen marking machine, the related training in its use, and one laptop computer to facilitate recordkeeping. As a result, over 250,000 firearms have been marked in the region and over 200 national experts have been trained. The program is funded by the Government of the United States and has been implemented by the OAS Department of Public Security since September 2009.
With this initiative the OAS continues to support member states in preventing and combating illicit arms trafficking, within the framework of the Inter-American Convention against the Illicit Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Materials (CIFTA).
