Cis Proliferation Problems and Issues for the Npt Extension Conference
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The continuing political and economic instability in the former Soviet Union has exacerbated a series of related proliferation threats in the region. Two recent conferences organized by the Center for Nonproliferation Studies revealed new information regarding problems in physical protection of nuclear materials and facilities, the implementation of export controls, and divergent views on the upcoming Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Extension Conference. This report is a summary of the key findings from these meetings. Although each of the conferences (in Minsk, Belarus, October 5-6, 1994, and in Almaty, Kazakhstan, October 10-12, 1994) focused on specific themes, this report will focus on information drawn from both meetings in three general areas: perspectives on the NPT; Western assistance and export controls; and international proliferation problems.
