Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS BRASILIA 000182 SIPDIS SENSITIVE E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PARM, BR, UN, Non-Proliferation SUBJECT: BRAZIL: SMALL ARMS/LIGHT WEAPONS REF: STATE 9788 (SBU) Ministry of External Relations (MRE), Division Chief for Disarmament and Sensitive Technologies (DDS) Santiago Mourao indicated that Brazil supported making the Instrument a legally-binding international agreement and the inclusion within it of ammunition. Ammunition manufactured in Brazil, Mourao pointed out, already met this standard and could be traced by 8 character lot numbers. Only a legally-binding document, Mourao said, would provide the "extra assurance in a volatile scenario." The GOB supported the use of Interpol as a channel for information exchange since it provided "reliability, accountability, and assurance of confidentiality." Mourao added, however, that Brazil would be SIPDIS willing to look at other options. Danilovich
