I. ABSTRACT

The objective of this research paper is to identify the differences between the legal framework that governs the possession, sale, licensing, and purchase of arms and ammunition between India and Russia, determining which country has stringent regulations and how the same has been used to curb illegal smuggling of arms and ammunition. International law also provides for a protocol for curbing illegal smuggling which has been referred by various countries in their national legislations. The authors have made an attempt to understand the provisions of international law which can be inculcated in the Indian and Russian laws. Therefore, in the end, this will help to deduce how India can incorporate various provisions from Russian law and international law for making robust legislation.
