In 1996 the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency released this factsheet on the Wassenaar Arrangement on Arms Export Controls Return to menu of Wassenaar Arrangement documents FACT SHEET: WASSENAAR ARRANGEMENT ON ARMS EXPORT CONTROLS The following fact sheet describing the Wassenaar Arrangement on export controls for conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies was issued by the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency on July 17. Representatives of 33 States met in Vienna, Austria on July 11 and 12, 1996 and established the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. The purpose of the Arrangement, reflected in the Initial Elements agreed to at the meeting, is to contribute to regional and international security by: promoting transparency and greater responsibility with regard to transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations; seeking through national policies, to ensure that transfers of these items do not contribute to the development or enhancement of military capabilities which undermine these goals, and are not diverted to support such capabilities; complementing and reinforcing, without duplication, the existing control regimes for weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems, as well as other internationally recognized measures designed to promote transparency and greater responsibility, by focusing on the threats to international and regional peace and security which may arise from transfers of armaments and sensitive dual-use goods and technologies where risks are judged greatest; and

Search JAMA Letters - August 6, 1997 Production and Use of Biological Weapons:Need for International Sanctions? Official US government assessments indicate that from 1972 through 1975, when the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC) was signed and came into force, 4 countries in the world had biological weapons (BW) development programs. In the 1990s, that number is around 10 and includes China, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria, and Taiwan, with the status of the BW programs that existed in the past in Russia and South Africa ambiguous at present.[ ] It is not clear exactly how many of these nations are currently producing or stockpiling BW agents, but apparently 2 or 3 (possibly China, Iran, and Iraq) may be.[1-6] Of particular significance is the fact that several of these 10 nations are signatories of the BWC, which prohibits both the development and production of BW. There was no serious international response to the use of chemical weapons by Iraq against Iran in 1984. Not only did Iraq's use of chemical weapons take place essentially penalty free, but it is widely assumed that the lack of a serious international response may have served as the stimulus for the development and production of chemical weapons by Iran, as well as for its BW program.

The Bureau of Arms Control leads efforts to negotiate new arms control agreements, primarily START III and other future strategic arms control agreements, and leads negotiating efforts in the Conference on Disarmament (CD) such as a cutoff of fissile material production and antipersonnel landmines. This Bureau also has the equally important task of implementing a large number of existing agreements, including ABM, INF, START I, CWC, and BWC, and of preparing to implement START II and CTBT. The Bureau has the U.S. lead for negotiations and policy development related to Confidence and Security-Building Measures (CSBMs), Open Skies, Dayton Article V negotiations, verification and information for European arms control, has responsibilities with respect to CFE Treaty issues, and participates fully in the Task Force on CFE under the Under Secretary.

Please see current site for Bureau of Nonproliferation Bureau of Nonproliferation One of the highest foreign policy and national security priorities of the United States is preventing the spread of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. The Bureau of Nonproliferation gives a new emphasis to a broad range of efforts to curb proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems, and advanced conventional weapons. The Nonproliferation Bureau leads U.S. efforts to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical and biological weapons) and their missile delivery systems; to secure nuclear materials in the states of the former Soviet Union; and to promote nuclear safety and the protection of nuclear materials worldwide. It also leads U.S. efforts to promote responsibility, transparency, and restraint in international transfers of conventional arms and sensitive dual-use technology. The Bureau has primary responsibility for leadership in the interagency process for nonproliferation issues; leads major nonproliferation negotiations and discussions with other countries; and participates in all nonproliferation-related dialogues.
