Abstract: | In the context of the Control Arms campaign Pax Christi Netherlands organized a two-day conference on small arms control in the Horn of Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Sudan) and the Balkans (Macedonia) in December 2003. The papers presented are organized into four parts: 1. Why do communities want arms? (Kennedy Mkutu on small arms demand by pastoralists in East Africa, Jan C. Cappon on small arms proliferation in Kerio Valley, Peter Adwok Nyaba on the case of South Sudan, Koert Lindijer on nomads and weapons, Ton Dietz on the costs and benefits of small arms proliferation); 2. The State's role in reducing demand for small arms (Quirinus Oyugi Onono on the Horn of Africa, Darlington Lorika on Karamoja, Uganda); 3. Mobilizing communities: disarmament or arms control? (William Tsuma on pastoralist youth in eastern Kenya, Nathalie Gomes on women and peace in Karimojong, Ruben de Koning on young male perspectives on armed violence in Karamoja, Romano Longole on disarming versus taking responsibility for small arms in eastern Africa); 4. Civil society: between community and State (Jan Kamenju on the role of civil society organizations, Joyce Nima on the role of Churches and faith-based organizations). [ASC Leiden abstract] |
