Abstract

Post-9/11, heightened concern has been given to the dangers posed by ‘weapons of mass destruction’ (WMD) in many Western countries. Some have gone so far as to suggest that such dangers require the preemptive use of force to avoid those intent on causing harm to acquire weapon capabilities. Central to the attempts to impede the development and spread of WMD is the detection of their proliferation. Detecting proliferation, however, is not a minor task, not least because the materials and means necessary to devise WMD can serve multiple ends, some of which may not be illegal or related to mass destructive ambitions. In this context, an important challenge consists of determining the intentions that states have in acquiring certain technologies.
