| Summary/Abstract |
To strengthen the international norm banning the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the 1968 Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) must be adapted to the present national security requirements and the level of technological development in the field of nuclear energy. This could be achieved by amending the treaty so as to remove its shortcomings and fill the gaps that are becoming increasingly apparent.

| Summary/Abstract |
The resemblance between the fate of arms control and disarmament (as distinct from non-proliferation) in recent years, and Cinderella in the fairy tale, is at least threefold. Though undoubtedly virtuous and attaractive when looked at in a good light, arms control has been pushed aside and sometimes openly insulted and bullied, by more than one important country acting in the style of ugly sisters.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1967, when the space age was still in its infancy, the Outer Space Treaty entered into force with the aim to protect the common interest of all societies while regulating the competition for military advantage that dominated the pioneering space programmes of the United States and the Soviet Union. The treaty was amended four times in the following 12 years with the introduction of the Rescue Agreement, the Liability Convention, the Registration Convention and the Moon Agreement.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) is widely understood to be the weakest of the international arms control agreements prohibiting weapons of mass destruction as it lacks both an effective verification system and major international supporting organization. This article considers the statements made at BTWC meetings and comapares them to the current level of biosecurity education among life scientists.

| Summary/Abstract |
In late 2008, stemming from UNIDIR's work related to the Conference on Disarmament (CD) over the last decade, Canada asked UNIDIR to reflect upon and identify potential options for getting the Conference back to work. Following discussions with a range of experts, including a diverse group of CD delegates from countries of various regions of the world, UNIDIR has produced this discussion paper. While this paper does not claim to offer solution to the CD's difficulties, it is intended to encourage dialogue among CD Members to this end.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is a stunning achievement. It sets a new international legal form and enshrines a comprehensive package of weapon-specific measures to ban cluster munitions that endanger civilians, clear contaminated land and help vitims. By adopting a humanitarian disarmament approach, the Oslo process also sends a powerful signal that progress is still possible on arms control-related priorities of international concern despite considerable difficulties in recent years.
