Illegal Weapons Smuggling in Haiti Fueling Gang Violence and Human Rights Abuses

Illegal weapons smuggling into Haiti is fueling gang violence and human rights abuses, with over 4,200 people killed and 1,356 injured in recent months. Gangs, self-defense groups, and authorities are responsible for the violence, with police reportedly involved in summary executions. The circulation of 270,000 to 500,000 illegal weapons contributes to the destructive cycle of violence.

Montenegro's National Security Council considers new gun controls, including a potential complete gun ban after a mass shooting that killed 12 people. Despite having a high number of illegal weapons per capita, Montenegro has relatively few mass shootings.
