About

Established in 1990, we provide rigorous, objective, evidence-based research on the manufacture, trade, and use of, military, security and police (MSP) equipment.  Such technologies range from small arms and light weapons to large weapon systems; from policing technologies and prison equipment to equipment used for torture, amongst others.

We aim to:

• Monitor the international MSP trade in the pursuit of transparency and accountability;
• Provide campaigning organisations with timely and accurate case study information to lobby for tougher controls on international MSP transfers;
• Work with NGOs and media agencies to expose companies and governments that flout regulations on transfers of arms and security equipment; and
• Provide torture survivor support groups with the information that allows them to seek legal redress from the companies producing such equipment.
