The multilateral export control regimes
and the fight against proliferation

by Cédric Poitevin et Manuela Tudosia, researchers at GRIP

15 April 2008

Abstract

For many years, the major producers of arms and dual-use technologies have attempted to compensate for deficiencies in the UN non-proliferation treaty system by establishing multilateral export control regimes (MECRs) aiming to prevent an uncontrolled proliferation of these technologies.
