Several reminders were sent and a final notification dated 20 May 2014 (due on 26 May 2014) but the organization never provided the required information. The case is then closed. DR 25-APR-2014: The application is reassigned to Hanna as Mark is leaving. MS-25-April: The submitted constitution is consisted only of a draft copy; thus, it is difficult to assess the structure of the organization’s governance and how democratic the organization is. The organization should provide a full copy of the organization’s constitution through which we can assess the aforementioned criteria. A second reminder must be sent on 30 April.

Mission statement:	Conflict Armament Research (CAR) generates unique evidence on weapon supplies into armed conflicts to inform and support effective weapon management and control. CAR is the world’s only organisation to specialise in tracking the supply of weapons into conflict-affected areas and fragile states. CAR is, moreover, the only UK-based organisation to focus exclusively on weapon management and control. CAR generates information that is otherwise unavailable. CAR specialises in tracking the illicit supply of conventional weapons, ammunition, and related materiel into armed conflicts. CAR partners with governments, international, regional, and non-governmental organisations to conduct in-field investigations. By documenting weapons in situ, CAR provides policy makers with the dynamic and quantifiable information required to understand weapon transfers in detail and, thereby, develop effective, evidence-based arms control policy. CAR investigates to understand, to support, and ultimately, provide tools for change. CAR provides dynamic, quantified data necessary to generate effective weapon management and control policy. CAR is committed to working towards understanding the landscape of illicit weapon flows and to mitigating the supply of conventional arms to unauthorised users, including insurgent and terrorist forces.
