The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database Now Available Online at No Charge

The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database

To coincide with the launch of the 2007 SIPRI Yearbook, the SIPRI Arms Transfers Project has announced that the SIPRI Arms Transfers Database is now freely accessible online. The database is regularly updated and contains information on all international transfers of major conventional weapons since 1950. As such, the database represents a truly unique resource, containing information on transfers to or from over 200 countries and rebel groups, amounting to over 20,000 individual arms deals.
