The Inventory of International Nonproliferation Organizations and Regimes uses a broad definition of international organizations, treaties, and agreements relevant to weapons of mass destruction disarmament and nonproliferation activities. It includes formal organizations, non-charter regimes, multilateral groupings of states, international treaties, and regional and bilateral arrangements. The updated version for the first time also includes international treaties related to terrorism as well as treaties and agreements designed to prevent the spread of conventional weapons. It also includes specific references to the verification and compliance provisions of relevant organizations and treaties, and detail on organization and treaty memberships of selected States.
The Inventory is designed to cover all actual and potential international organizations and other nonproliferation regimes, and their existing institutional ties, inter-relationships, and overlapping areas of responsibility. It provides descriptions of each organization, treaty, and agreement as well as summaries of recent activities and contact information. Treaty texts are also provided and other appendices show the membership and status of key treaties and agreements. The Inventory provides policymakers, diplomats, government officials, analysts, researchers, journalists, and students with a useful general reference source and a current synopsis of developments in international nonproliferation organizations and regimes.
All entries are updated regularly. A wide variety of sources were utilized in compiling the information presented in the Inventory. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of all the information included, the International Organizations and Nonproliferation Program (IONP) at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. In cases where such errors occurred, correct information should be forwarded to the IONP soon as possible.
The preparation of the Inventory has involved the tireless efforts of several Monterey Institute students, and interns and staff members of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies. Their contributions are gratefully acknowledged. [View contributor credits]
