Introduction

• Disarmament is the act of reducing or depriving of arms,

and as such is applicable to all weapons systems,

ammunition and explosives, including nuclear, chemical,

biological, radiological and conventional systems

• Disarmament is primarily aimed at reducing or controlling

the number of weapons held by combatants before

demobilization

Aim and Objectives of Disarmament

• Reduce or control the number of weapons held by combatants before demobilization

– Reduction in weapons possessed by, or available to, armed groups

– Reduction in actual, or the threat of, armed violence– Minimal casualties during the disarmament

component– Improvement in the perception of human security

Page 6: 410Disarmament.ppt

Aim and Objectives of Disarmament

– Public connection between the availability of weapons and armed violence

– Build community awareness of the problem– Reduction and disruption of the transfer and illicit

trade of weapons – Reduction of weapons in the community and the

culture of weapons– Development of norms against the illegal use of

weapons

Page 7: 410Disarmament.ppt

Operational Risks and Balanced Disarmament

• Operational risks– Threats to the safety and security of personnel

– Lack of sustainability of the disarmament process

• Balanced disarmament – Assist in preventing warring factions from taking

advantage of change in balance of military capability

– Disarmament organization’s neutrality not to compromise

Page 8: 410Disarmament.ppt

• Reducing Risks– Selection of equipment– Work practices – Risk education– Sound and effective training– Sound management and supervision – Appropriate personal protective equipment

• Explosive hazards

• Technical advice

Technical Risks and Hazards

Page 9: 410Disarmament.ppt

Information Collection and Operational Planning Phase

• Agreed collection points

• Team selection and structure

• Screening and individual eligibility criteria – General – Local advisers – Inclusivity– Non-weapon-holders – Screening methodology

• Time-lines • Weapons survey

• Risk assessment

• DDR awareness activities

Page 10: 410Disarmament.ppt

Collection (or Retrieval) Phase • Static and mobile collection

options

• Encampment

• Buffer zones and separation of forces

• Pick-up points

– Organization of a PUP – Activities at the PUP – Non-eligible individuals – Special cases

• Weapons and explosive safety – Activities at the Weapons

Collection Point

• Static disarmament (D1) sites – Activities at D1 sites – Foreign combatants

• Mobile collection points • Accounting and combatant

registration

• EOD support

Page 11: 410Disarmament.ppt

Types of Disarmament Programmes Process

• DDR site based disarmament– Sensitization – Pick Up Points (PUPs)– Unexploded Ordnance Site (UXO Site)– The Disarmament site (D1 Site)

Page 12: 410Disarmament.ppt

Types of Disarmament Programmes Process

• Non DDR voluntary weapons collection initiatives– Assessment and planning – Incentives– Amnesties and enforced weapons collection

programmes

• Mobile disarmament initiatives

• National arms control initiatives (Legislative disarmament)

Page 13: 410Disarmament.ppt

Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives Collection, Registration, Transportation and

Storage• Planning

• Weapons collection

• Ammunition and UXO collection

• Registration, marking and record-keeping

• Weapons, ammunition and explosives transportation

• Weapons, ammunition

and explosives storage– Weapons storage– Ammunition and explosives

storage

• Verification procedures

Page 14: 410Disarmament.ppt

Stockpile Management Phase

• Stockpile security

• Storage of weapons

• Storage of ammunition and explosives

Page 15: 410Disarmament.ppt

Destruction of Weapons, Ammunition and Other Explosives

• Destruction of weapons– Weapon destruction techniques and technologies – Destruction planning and operations sequence

• Destruction of ammunition and explosives – Destruction of UXO– Destruction of rockets, missiles, etc– IMAS 11.10 – Stockpile destruction– IMAS 11.20 – Open burning & open detonation – IMAS 11.30 – National planning guidelines

Sequential Operations

• Demobilization directly follows disarmament, but can take place concurrently with disarmament

• Demobilization can take place at a later date
