Chapter:: 11. Strategic trade controls: countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
Source:: SIPRI Yearbook 2011
Author(s):: Sibylle Bauer, Aaron Dunne, Ivana Mićić

Events in 2010 further reinforce the emerging consensus that, while the establishment of an effective licensing and export control system is a necessary foundation for countering proliferation, an effective approach also requires other activities. These include (a) prevention, through industry outreach and vigilance; (b) disruption, by dissuading exporting companies or seizing goods; (c) international cooperation, either bilaterally or via multilateral regimes or initiatives; (d) information sharing, whether bilaterally, regionally or via the multilateral regimes; (e) capacity building, both national and international; (f) interception, to impede the movements of proliferation-sensitive items; and (g) targeting proliferation finance.
