BMS4 : Fourth Biennial Meeting of States

On 14-18 June 2010, representatives of all UN Member States came together in New York to consider implementation of the 2001 Programme of Action on the illicit trade in small arms.

This Fourth Biennial Meeting of States (“BMS4”), was chaired by Ambassador Pablo Macedo from Mexico and included a segment on the International Tracing Instrument, a separate document agreed to by Member States in 2005 on the marking and tracing of small arms. BMS4 was open for NGO participation and press coverage, just as earlier meetings under the Programme of Action.
