Armed to the Teeth: The
Worldwide Plague of Small Arms
With one gun for every ten people, the UN considers the small arms crisis
one of the gravest challenges facing the world. As well as investigating the
proliferation of firearms and the economic, political, and cultural reasons
why people carry them, this award-winning program shows what is being done
to curb a man-made pestilence. Both devastation and successful disarmament
are seen in case studies from Albania, Mozambique, South Africa, Colombia,
El Salvador, and the world’s largest small arms manufacturer, the United
States. Discussing these issues are Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the
United Nations; Jayantha Dhanapala, Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament;
Carol Bellamy, executive director of UNICEF; and Robert Wall of the Firearms
and Explosives Unit at Interpol.
