This paper examines Ukraine's two approaches to disposing of its small arms and light weapons (SALW) surplus, namely destruction and export. In particular, it looks at Ukrainian SALW exports to Africa, as recorded by the Ukrainian export control authorities, for the years 2004–2007. The author highlights possible causes for concern and recommends further policy steps that Ukraine could take. The paper includes a list of published Ukrainian SALW exports for 2004–2007, translated from Ukrainian.
