常规武器、小武器和轻武器是苏丹政府的最高优先事项。我国同许多其他国家一样受到这种武器的有害影响。它们的传播往往与经济方面有关，而经济问题则由于环境问题，如气候变化、干旱、荒漠化和各群体对水和食物来源的激烈竞争而加剧。获取武器现在是一些部落和群体行为中的一部分，因此消除此类武器已成为一项极其困难的任务。苏丹充分意识到这种武器的负面影响以及消除它们的必要性。我们参加了所有相关的国际和区域论坛，并且正在苏丹全国范围内努力遏制小武器和轻武器。我们认为，这种武器与跨国有组织犯罪、恐怖主义和贩毒之间存在相辅相成的密切联系。在这方面，我国代表团欢迎通过联合国小武器和轻武器行动纲领第三次审议大会的成果文件（A/CONF.192/2018/RC/3）。
Conventional weapons, small arms and light weapons are among the Sudanese Government’s top priorities. Like many others, my country is adversely affected by such weapons. Their spread is often linked to economic aspects that have been exacerbated by environmental issues such as climate change, drought, desertification and fierce competition among populations for water and food sources. Acquiring weapons is now integral to the behaviour of some tribes and population groups and eliminating such weapons has therefore become an extremely difficult task. The Sudan is fully aware of the negative effects of such weapons and the need to eliminate them. We attend all the relevant international and regional forums, and we are making efforts nationally to combat small and light weapons in the Sudan. We believe that there is a close and mutually reinforcing link between such weapons and transnational organized crime, terrorism and drug trafficking. In that connection, my delegation welcomes the adoption of the outcome document of the third Review Conference of the United Nations Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons (A/CONF.192/2018/RC/3).
