This handbook outlines the measures used to control dual-use goods that potentially have an application as weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and the elements needed to implement an export control system. It explains what weapons of mass destruction are, “dual-use,” and other definitions; reasons export controls are important, with a focus on nuclear energy, nuclear renaissance, and the link to nuclear proliferation; the evolution of export controls to include goods that can be used for both civilian and WMD purposes; the legal context; the international export fora conditions and criteria; examples of implementation in the US and Europe; different items, including goods, technology, and software; different types of controlled movements; control lists; and authorizations, licensing procedures, and clauses for control.
