International Ammunition Technical Guidelines (IATG)

摘要

Background While it is the prerogative of each State to determine the size of their ammunition stockpile and the system of ammunition stockpile management that is most suited for its national defence and security purposes, the issue has been of growing concern to the international community because of: 1.the impact on social and economic development within developing nations due to the increasing number of undesirable explosions of ammunition depots;1 and 2.the cross-border consequences due to the diversion of poorly managed stockpiles of ammunition.
