A report by Jurgen Brauer and J. Paul Dunne, commissioned by the Arsenault Family Foundation.

The top five arms supplying nations alone exported nearly $13.5 billion worth of weapons in 2004. Russian exports continue a five-year growth trend, with strong sales in aviation, mostly to India and China. Shipyards also saw significant increases, delivering Kilo-class submarines and frigates. Russia is anticipating penetrating new markets: 2005 will see deliveries to Morocco, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia. Strategic shifts and re-alliances in the Islamic world post-September 11, 2001 make it likely that Russian sales to Arab countries and Northern Africa will continue to increase.. This fact sheet was compiled by Kate Cell in 2005.

In 2003, the world spent more than $900 billion on its militaries, with the US contributing nearly 50% of the total. World military expenditure in one year is greater than would be required to fulfill the Millennium Development Goals in 11 years. If 10% of world military expenditure, or 20% of US military expenditure, were diverted yearly, the MDG could be fully funded. This fact sheet was compiled by Paul Burkholder in 2004.
