The Small Arms Survey is an independent research project located at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. It serves as the principal international source of public information on all aspects of small arms and as a resource for governments, policymakers, researchers and activists. The Small Arms Survey Issue Briefs are written by researchers from various universities and published occasionally. They address a broad range of topics related to small arms.
