Description: Its aim is to foster regional and international confidence-building. Transparency in armaments can help to determine whether excessive or destabilizing accumulations of arms take place, may encourage restraint in the transfer or production of arms, and can contribute to preventive diplomacy. Since its inception in 1991, the UN Register has received reports from 173 states.
