On 12 March, SIPRI and the Stimson Center will host a virtual discussion on recent trends in international arms transfers. The event, titled ‘Arms Transfer Trends in an Uncertain World’, will take place on Zoom at 10:30–11:30 Eastern Daylight Time (15:30–16:30 Central European Time).
Together with Sarah Yager, Washington Director of Human Rights Watch, and Rachel Stohl, Senior Vice President of Research Programs and Director of the Conventional Defense Program at the Stimson Center, SIPRI researchers Pieter D. Wezeman and Zain Hussain will discuss the dynamics of the global arms trade and their implications for peace and security. Speakers will also examine the role of the United States in the global arms trade and arms transfers to Ukraine and the Middle East.
The discussion will draw from the insights of the latest data from the SIPRI Arms Transfers Database, covering trends in international arms transfers between 2015–19 and 2020–24. This data is scheduled for release on 10 March 2025.
