Abstract

Problematika ilegalnog trgovanja oružjem dugi je niz godina prisutna kao globalni fenomen
koji je, kao pojavni oblik organiziranog kriminaliteta, područje bavljenja raznih institucija u
različitim zemljama svijeta. Vatreno oružje odgovorno je za brojna stradavanja kroz povijest,
ali i danas, te je zbog svog smrtonosnog potencijala predmet strogih ograničenja. Kao posebno
problematično područje ističe se ilegalna trgovina malim i lakim oružjem, s obzirom da
proizvodnja takve vrste oružja ne može biti zabranjena zbog potreba korištenja iste od strane
vojske i policije. Ilegalno trgovanje oružjem svojim obimom i modalitetom varira među
različitim zemljama svijeta, a zbog prikrivenosti samog procesa i nedostupnih podataka,
ponajviše iz manje razvijenih zemalja, može se pretpostaviti postojanje velike tamne brojke. U
ovom radu prikazat će se najvažnije karakteristike ilegalnog trgovanja oružjem kao pojave u
suvremenom svijetu. Opisat će se kako, zbog čega i u kojem trenutku legalno oružje postaje
dijelom ilegalne sfere te najčešći putevi koji vode do njegovih kupaca, kao i obilježja osoba
uključenih u takav oblik trgovine. Pružit će se statistički pregled u pogledu ključnih pokazatelja,
navesti što je sve učinjeno u smislu kaznenopravnog odgovora i napora usmjerenih na
prevenciju i suzbijanje ove pojave na međunarodnoj razini te razmotriti postojeće strategije i
intervencije po pitanju učinkovitosti, a sve s ciljem stvaranja što kvalitetnijeg pristupa u borbi
s ovim oblikom kriminaliteta.

Abstract (english)

The issue of illicit arms trade has been present for many years as a global phenomenon. It is
considered a manifestation of organized crime and an area of concern dealt with by many
institutions in different countries in the world. Firearms account for large number of casualties
through history, but also nowadays, and due to their lethal potential, they are subject of severe
restrictions. Particularly problematic is the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, as
manufacture of these type of weapons cannot be restricted due to the need for mentioned
products coming from military and law enforcement officials. The scope and modality of illicit
trafficking varies among different countries, while concealment of its process and lack of
information, largely facilitates these kinds of transfers, especially in less developed countries,
where products find their way unnoticed by respective authorities. This paper will cover key
characteristics of illicit arms trade as a phenomenon in the contemporary world. In addition, it
will seek to describe how, what for and in which moment do legal weapons become part of
illegal domain. Furthermore, the most frequent flows to their end users will be described, as
well as features of actors involved in this type of trade. The paper will provide statistical
overview in terms of key indicators, discuss what has been done on international level in context
of criminal justice response and efforts focused on preventing and countering illicit arms trade
and review existing strategies and interventions regarding their impact, aiming to create
effective approach in fighting against this form of crime.
