Examining the Roles, Responsibilities and Potential Contributions of Private Sector Industry Actors in Stemming the Flow of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and Related Materials

In 2016, UNIDIR began a project entitled, “Examining the Roles, Responsibilities and Potential Contributions of Private Sector Industry Actors in Stemming the Flow of Improvised Explosive Devices and Related Materials”. This project sought to build on areas of common understanding and clarify areas where there is a lack of consensus in order to identify challenges, opportunities and ways forward for private sector’s engagement in stemming the proliferation of IEDs. From 6 to 7 March 2017, UNIDIR convened a small, closed-door group of industry representatives from a diverse set of industries and global regions. This document is a summary of this meeting’s proceedings and findings.
