The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, SIPRI, Arms Transfers Database contains information on all international transfers of major weapons (including sales, gifts and production under licence) to states, international organizations and armed non-state groups since 1950. It is the only publicly available resource providing consistent data on arms transfers for this length of time. The database can be used to track transfers of major weapons and to answer such questions as: * Who are the main suppliers and recipients of major weapons? * How have relations between different suppliers and recipients changed over time? * Where do countries in conflict get their weapons? * How do states implement their export control regulations? * Where are potentially destabilizing build-ups of weapons occurring today? * What major weapons have been exported or imported? The database is available (online ). ==Imports of conventional arms by Iraq 1973-1990, by source== Values are shown in millions of US dollars at constant (1990) estimated values. "Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact" includes Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. The majority of these transfers came from the Soviet Union, followed by Czechoslovakia. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) makes the following comment of the methodology of this table: The SIPRI data on arms transfers refer to actual deliveries of major conventional weapons. To permit comparison between the data on such deliveries of different weapons and identification of general trends, SIPRI uses a trend-indicator value. The SIPRI values are therefore only an indicator of the volume of international arms transfers and not of the actual financial values of such transfers. SIPRI's data are founded entirely on open sources: The type of open information used by SIPRI cannot provide a comprehensive picture of world arms transfers. Published reports often provide only partial information, and substantial disagreement among reports is common. Order and delivery dates, exact numbers, types of weapon and the identity of suppliers or recipients may not always be clear.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Sources used in compiling the database )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SIPRI Arms Transfers Database, Iraq 1973–1990」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
