The adoption of the International Instrument to Enable States to Identify and Trace, in a Timely and Reliable Manner, Illicit Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 2005 (International Tracing Instrument) represents a major contribution towards combating the illicit accumulation and trafficking of Small Arms and Light Weapons.  \nGermany has actively participated in the negotiations of the International Tracing Instrument. During the negotiations the German government pleaded strongly for inclusion of ammunition as well. The German support for BICC’s work on marking and tracing follows upon this commitment. This is why this TRESA module pays due attention not only to the marking and tracing of SALW, but also their ammunition.  \nThe TRESA series is an invaluable tool for all those involved in training and education on issues related to SALW and their ammunition. This user-friendly module on Marking and Tracing Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) in the TRESA series conveys the complete picture of best practices on marking, record keeping and tracing. It confirms the need for governments, civil society and the international community to direct more attention to the challenge of marking and tracing SALW and their ammunition.  \nAmbassador Rüdiger Lüdeking  \nDeputy Commissioner of the Federal Government for Arms Control and Disarmament Federal Republic of Germany  \nContents  \nTrainer preface  \nSection 1 Marking SALW 1  \n1.
