  • Testimony of Gary Milhollin Before the US-Israeli Joint Parliamentary
    WISCONSIN PROJECT ON NUCLEAR ARMS CONTROL Testimony of Gary Milhollin Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin Law School and Director, Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control Before the US-Israeli Joint Parliamentary Committee September 17, 2003 1701 K STREET, NW SUITE 805 WASHINGTON, DC 20006 PHONE: 202-223-8299 FAX: 202-223-8298 EMAIL: [email protected] I am pleased to appear before this joint committee to discuss Iran's nuclear program and Iran's imports of sensitive technology. I direct the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, a research organization here in Washington that is devoted to stopping the spread of mass destruction weapons. I will begin by describing the challenge posed by Iran to the nuclear non-proliferation regime, and then I will comment on some important Iranian procurement attempts. I will conclude with a discussion of Iran's possible noncompliance with its international obligations. I would like to submit one item for the record. It is a recent op-ed and table authored by myself and Valerie Lincy for the Week in Review section of the New York Times. The article discusses the possibility that Iran could gain nuclear weapon capability while claiming to be a member in good standing of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. The article can be found electronically on my organization's web site: http://www.wisconsinproject.org. The Stakes With Iraq now under U.S. occupation, Iran is rapidly emerging as the new mass destruction weapon threat in the Middle East. If Iran's nuclear program continues down its present path, Iran is likely to achieve nuclear weapon capability within the next few years.

  • Testimony of Gary Milhollin
    Testimony of Gary Milhollin Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin Law School and Director, Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate May 26, 2000 I am pleased to appear before this distinguished Committee to testify on the export of dual-use technology. I would like to submit three items for the record. The first is an article on supercomputer export controls that I wrote for the Outlook section of the Washington Post on March 12, the second is an article on Iraqi procurement efforts that I wrote for the New Yorker magazine on December 13, 1999 and the third is a report entitled “25 Myths about Export Control” that my organization prepared a few years ago but which is still relevant to the issues we face today. The Committee has asked me to comment on two concepts that have been proposed for use in U.S. export controls. The first is known as “mass market status;” the second as “foreign availability.” The Committee has asked what the effect would be on our national security if these concepts were adopted as U.S. policy. The two concepts are now incorporated into S. 1712, the bill recently reported by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. In my judgment, if this bill were enacted it would overturn and to a great extent nullify the system of export controls that the United States has built up over the past half-century. Our present law attempts to strike a balance between national security and freedom of trade.

Th is Series seeks to foster original and rigorous scholarship on the dynamics of war and international politics in South Asia. Following Clausewitz, war is understood as both a political and a social phenomenon which manifests itself in a variety of forms ranging from total wars to armed insurrections. International politics is closely intertwined with it, for war not only plays an important role in the formation of an international order but also a threat to its continued existence. Th e Series will therefore focus on the international as well as domestic dimensions of war and security in South Asia. Comparative studies with other geographical areas are also of interest. A fundamental premise of this Series is that we cannot do justice to the com- plexities of war by studying it from any single, privileged academic standpoint; the phenomenon is best explained in a multidisciplinary framework. Th e Series welcomes a wide array of approaches, paradigms and methodologies, and is interested in historical, theoretical, and policy-oriented scholarship. In addition to monographs, the Series will from time to time publish collections of essays.

  • Technologies Underlying Weapons of Mass Destruction
    Technologies Underlying Weapons of Mass Destruction December 1993 OTA-BP-ISC-115 NTIS order #PB94-126984 GPO stock #052-003-01361-4 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Technologies Underlying Weapons of Mass Destruction, OTA-BP-ISC-115 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, December 1993). Foreword ontrolling the spread of weapons of mass destruction depends on how hard it is to manufacture them and on how easy such weapon programs are to detect. This background paper, a companion volume to OTA’s report Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction: Assessing the Risks,cl reviews the technical requirements for countries to develop and build nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, along with the systems most capable of delivering these weapons to distant or defended targets: ballistic missiles, combat aircraft, and cruise missiles. It identities evidence that might indicate the production of weapons of mass destruction, and technical hurdles that might provide opportunities to control their spread. Of the weapons considered here, nuclear weapons are the most difficult and expensive to develop-primarily due to the difficulty of producing the required nuclear materials. These materials, and the equipment needed to produce them, have quite limited civilian applications and are tightly controlled. States have produced nuclear weapon materials indigenously by evading international controls, but at great cost and with substantial opportunity for detection. For chemical and biological weapon materials, in contrast, most of the equipment needed also has civilian applications and has become widely available, making the capability to produce such weapons much more difficult to monitor and control.

Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub Part of the International Law Commons, and the National Security Law Commons ARTICLES PARSING GOOD FAITH: HAS THE UNITED STATES VIOLATED ARTICLE VI OF THE NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY? DAVID A. KOPLOW* The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has long been the cornerstone of the international effort to retard the spread of nuclear weaponry to additional countries, now appreciated as the greatest post-cold war threat to international peace and security. Under this treaty, the parties also undertook to pursue in good faith additional negotiations leading to further reductions in nuclear weapons-and, in fact, such subsequent bargaining has recently yielded dramatic, far-reaching successes. Professor Koplow, however, argues that in one crucial respect, the United States has been derelict in implementing the obligations of the NPT: Recent American presidents have rigidly refused to participate in negotiations that could lead to a comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty, abolishing all nuclear explosions everywhere. Although the NPT's requirement of test ban negotiations is ambiguously stated, a close reading of the legal materials establishes that it was a key ingredient in the basic bargain of the NPT, and that numerous countries consider it a major, unresolved treaty controversy.

  • Export Control Development in the United Arab Emirates: from Commitments to Compliance
    The Dubai Initiative Policy Brief Export Control Development in the United Arab Emirates: From Commitments to Compliance Dr. Bryan R. Early Export Control Development in the United Arab Emirates: From Commitments to Compliance Dubai Initiative – Policy Brief Dr. Bryan R. Early Research Fellow, The Dubai Initiative Better Center for Science and International Affairs Harvard University July 6, 2009 ExPort ConTRol DEvEloPmEnT In THE UnITED ARAB Emirates | 1 Introduction The swiftness with which the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched its civil nuclear program presents a number of challenges for policymakers in seek- ing to ensure the program’s safety and security. At the onset of its efforts, the UAE government consulted with a set of the world’s leading nuclear suppliers to develop a framework that would help its nuclear program conform to the highest standards in terms of safety, security, and nonproliferation. The UAE drew on these con- sultations in making a sweeping set of international commitments in April 2008 to ensure that the sensitive nuclear materials and technologies it would acquire as part of its nuclear program would be securely controlled.1 While the UAE has been widely praised for the depth and breadth of the nonproliferation commitments it has made, it will be the UAE’s efficacy at complying with them by which its suc- cess will be judged. The largest commitment-compliance gap for the UAE government po- tentially relates to its system of nonproliferation export controls. Export controls While the UAE’s are national restrictions that governments place upon their constituencies’ exports recent nonprolifera- of sensitive goods and technologies, which generally include arms and dual-use goods that can contribute to WMD programs.2 Up until the fall of 2007, the UAE tion commitments did not possess a comprehensive export control law at the federal level—let alone strongly signaled an institutional framework capable of administering it.3 This allowed the country to the international to be exploited by the A.Q.
