Changes in the membership, guidelines, & procedures of the Australia Group (AG), Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), & Wassenaar Arrangement are surveyed. In response to the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the US, new ideas on the role of export controls in counterterrorism were put forward in the AG, the NSG, & the Wassenaar Arrangement. MTCR participating states agreed to the text of an International Code of Conduct (ICOC) aimed at discouraging ballistic missile proliferation. A decision on implementing the ICOC is expected in 2002. The NSG continued to discuss how to respond to decisions by Russia related to nuclear supply, which are considered to violate the NSG guidelines. 1 Table. Adapted from the source document.
