Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has announced he is expanding a plan to disarm civilians.
Speaking on the International Day of Peace, Mr Maduro said his government would invest $47m (£29m) and create 60 new disarmament centres.
According to United Nations figures, Venezuela has the second highest peacetime murder rate in the world after Honduras.
Most of the murders in Venezuela are committed using firearms.
“We are building peace from within, and for that, you need disarmament,” the president said at an event in the capital, Caracas.
