Illegal arms trafficking is a major concern for Canada. It's obviously part of our integrated approach to the present crisis. Canada is striving to prevent arms trafficking by supporting partner organizations such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. We're also working with the Organization of American States, which is involved in the fight against illegal arms trafficking and, in particular, in increasing the capacity of Haitian border agents, who are on the front line in controlling arms trafficking.
We also support the efforts made through the UN Security Council's sanctions regime, which has been put in place to monitor arms trafficking closely. In its reports, the Security Council comments, for example, on the routes used for arms trafficking purposes and assists international partners in taking the necessary measures to restrict it. In addition, Canada and other partners have established a sanctions regime targeting political and economic elites who finance the purchase of weapons and munitions by gangs in Haiti.
