Pablo Dreyfus (1969/70 – 1 June 2009) was an Argentina, Argentine arms control expert who worked in South America, particularly Brazil, to help end the small arms proliferation, illegal weapons trade prevalent in South America. His work as a consultant and opinion as an expert in his field was in demand worldwide years before the time of his death, in the crash of Air France Flight 447. Dreyfus encouraged better accounting of weapons to prevent them falling into the hands of criminal organizations.Key figures in global battle against illegal arms trade lost in Air France crash

He pushed for legislation requiring stricter controls on the labelling of ammunition. He raised the alarm about practices that facilitated arms smuggling in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Venezuela, which led to legislation in Brazil. He supported the development of anti-gunrunning security in Mozambique, Angola, El Salvador and other countries. Following the theft of grenades from an Argentine military garrison in 2006, Dreyfus remarked "If a supermarket can keep control of the amount of peas it has in stock, surely a military organization could and should be able to do the same with equal if not greater efficiency with its weapons. The key words are logistics, control, security." Born in Buenos Aires, Dreyfus got his PhD in International Relations at the Institut Universitaire de Hautes Études Internationales (Graduate Institute of International Studies) where his emphasis was Transnational Crime patterns.Pablo Gabriel Dreyfus
