EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report includes whether a country has provided accurate military spending data to relevant international organizations and arms transfer data to the United Nations (UN) Register of Conventional Arms.

The UN system for the voluntary reporting of standardized military expenditure (MILEX) data provides a detailed reporting matrix and instructions, with countries invited to submit as much detail as they choose. Data submissions are not subjected to any analysis, processing, or checking beyond that needed for forwarding the data to the UN General Assembly. The information requested is actual military expenditures for the latest available year, rather than budgeted military expenditures for the current year. This report will include the history of participation by the countries in the current UN MILEX report.

The UN Register of Conventional Arms is a voluntary annual report by member states on their arms imports and exports (in numbers of units) of seven categories of weapons -- battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large caliber artillery, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, and missiles and missile launchers. The report covers the previous calendar year imports and exports.
