Industry: master piece in the struggle against
illegal trafficking of dual use items

by Mehdi Mekdour, researcher at GRIP

17 August 2011
Abstract

The illegal exports of dual use items pose a major risk to the struggle against the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Faced with this danger, public authorities have adopted new policies, progressively paying more attention to the role of exporting companies. In particular the latter are requested to become more aware of their duties in matter of illegal exports of dual use items. Their commitments take the shape of “internal compliance programmes” initiated by some companies. Belgian companies also need to comply with this new dynamic.

Keywords : dual use, exports, non-proliferation, companies.
