Weapons Collection Programs:
Weapons
collection programs have continued to evolve as civil society finds
political will and opportunity to literally remove from circulation small
arms and light weapons. These programs are often an integrated part of
Demobilization efforts, whereby former combatants receive incentive to
disarm, allowing a peaceful seizure of their weapons.
