Where do the guns go? Mapping Arms Flows with OSINT: Opportunities and Challenges 🇬🇧
In light of recent political developments, the topic of tracing arms flows has gained significant interest from both researchers and the media. This talk will explore the opportunities and limitations of using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to track the movement of arms, both legal and illicit. The speaker will showcase projects undertaken by the Small Arms Survey and discuss the methodologies the organization employs to monitor the arms trade and investigate arms trafficking. She will emphasize the potential and constraints of current OSINT methodologies in this field.
