Proliferation of WMD technologies is by no means a new concern for
the international community. Indeed, since the signing of the
Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty in 1968, tremendous energies have
been expended upon diplomatic efforts to create a web of treaties
and international organizations regulating the production and
stockpiling of WMD sensitive materials within states, as well as
their spread through the increasingly globalized channels of
international trade to other states and non-state actors.
However, the intervention in 2003 by Western powers in Iraq has
served as an illustration of the importance of greater
understanding of and attention to this area of law, as
disagreements over its content and application have once again lead
to a potentially destabilizing armed intervention by members of the
United Nations into the sovereign territory of another member
state. Other ongoing disputes between states regarding the
character of obligations work assumed under non-proliferation
treaty instruments, and the effect of international organizations'
decisions in this area, form some of the most contentious and
potentially destabilizing issues of foreign policy concern for many
states.
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of international law
and organizations in the area of WMD proliferation. It will serve
both as a reference for understanding the law as it currently
exists in its political and economic context, as well as an
analysis of areas in which amendments to existing law and
organizations are needed.
