Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) is an independent international institute dedicated to research into conflict, armaments, arms control and disarmament. Founded in 1966, SIPRI provides data, analysis and recommendations, based on open sources, to policymakers, researchers, media and the interested public. SIPRI is newsworthy due to its recent reports on global arms trends. Specifically, its analysis of China's declining arms imports, attributed to the country's increasing reliance on domestic technology, has garnered attention. Additionally, SIPRI's data on Germany's role as a major arms supplier to Israel, in the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, is also relevant. These reports highlight SIPRI's ongoing significance as a leading source of information and analysis on global security issues, arms proliferation, and international conflict dynamics.
