dc.description.abstract | Intra-state conflict has been identified as a central or prevalent contributory factor to the failed state phenomenon. One of the major arteries that keep these conflicts alive is the volume and nature of arms proliferation within the country and region. Consequently by implication, arms proliferation becomes is a key stakeholder in state failure. During the Liberian conflict, the United Nations and ECOWAS intervened in the war at the levels of collective and cooperative security respectively using several diplomatic instruments including embargoes, legal legislation, voluntary weapons collection programs and DDR. The intent with regards to small arms control was to starve the conflict of weapons and so compel the belligerents to the negotiating table. This study examines the process and impact of these instruments and the extent to which they have enabled the post-war peacebuilding efforts. The paper holds that Liberia’s DDR and voluntary weapons collection programs have largely contributed to the reconstruction process as a key aspect of security sector reforms. | en_US |
