Relevant contents

The Primary Piece of National Legislation on Small Arms Control in Djibouti is Act 62-621 of June 1962.

The definitions contained in Act 62-621, categorizing arms and thus determining the controls that are applicable to different classes of arms, are limited in comparison to those contained in the regional and international agreements. A limited definition is given for the category of firearms, but the Act contains no definitions relating to ammunition, small arms, parts and components or other related material. Crucially, a separate definition for light weapons, which would enable the enacting of legal provisions prohibiting their civilian possession and use, as called for by the Protocol for the GLR and HoA, is not included.
