WMD proliferation, especially involving terrorists and other non-state actors, is recognized as a significant threat to international peace and security by the United Nations and its Member States.
The Partnerships in Proliferation Prevention Program seeks to empower those who try to reduce the risk of WMD proliferation by developing unique online resources and tools. The program has developed a comprehensive source of nonproliferation assistance activities from around the world and online legal indices of laws and regulations related to securing dangerous chemicals and radiological materials, and provides training and technical help for States seeking nonproliferation assistance.
