Small arms play a central role in the patterns of political and criminal violence observed in Latin America and the rest of the world. Among the various types of firearms used in the region, rifles are a case study for examining the emergence of violent dynamics and identifying effective entry points for policy responses and international cooperation initiatives.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Global South Unit for Mediation (GSUM) announces that registration is now open for the dialogue “Arms Circulation and Control in Latin America”, which will take place on Thursday, December 5, from 4pm to 6pm. The event will take place in person at the Digital Humanities Laboratory, Estrada da Gávea 50, Sala 302 Gávea/RJ.

The dialog will feature the participation of IRI/PUC-Rio professors Monica Herz, Luísa Cruz Lobato and Victória Santos, who will present the work of the project “Mapping the Transnational Circulation and Control of Small Arms in Latin America”, carried out with the support of the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS).

The event is part of the Cycle of Dialogues on Conflict, Violence and Peace in the Global South, held to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the GSUM, an initiative of the BRICS Policy Center. The cycle’s activities were supported by the FAPERJ Emergentes and CAPES PrInt projects.
