Armament and disarmament



We also work on arms control and disarmament, looking at both conventional weapons and so-called weapons of mass destruction: chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. In this vein, SIPRI monitors relevant export controls, embargoes and treaties, such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
