The Organization of American States (OAS) certified, last week, the Fifth Phase of Weapons Destruction in Costa Rica, carried out by the Ministry of the Interior, Police and Public Security of the country at the National Arsenal, within the framework of the Inter-American Convention against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Materials (CIFTA).
The OAS Program of Assistance for the Control of Arms and Destruction of Munitions (PACAM) certified the act, in which a team of 17 technicians from the Ministry of Public Security destroyed 4,795 seized or obsolete weapons of various types and sizes, of which 1,121 were homemade.
This is the fifth round of weapons destruction that has taken place in Costa Rica with the certification of the OAS and the support of the United States government since the signing in March 2011 of the Agreement on Cooperation and Technical Assistance between the Costa Rica and the OAS General Secretariat, relative to PACAM in Costa Rica. During this phase, the OAS Program provided technical, logistical and financial support.
Since 2011, more than one million rounds of ammunition and 7,217 firearms of various types and caliber have been destroyed in the country. The destruction of weapons has been carried out through methods and procedures endorsed by international standards.
The OAS, through PACAM, has supported countries in Central America in the destruction of thousands of firearms and more than six million rounds of ammunition in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Currently, the Program plans to continue to support the destruction of weapons in Guatemala with a new phase, and the beginning of a second phase of destruction of ammunition in Honduras in late April.
