Global Trends in Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation

Summary/Abstract: The paper has systematised multilateral endeavours to limit proliferation of weapons of mass destruction as well as biological, chemical, radioactive and nuclear materials and agents in the last five years. Along with the thematic fields mentioned above, the author has also analysed activities concerning non-state actors or actually the implementation of the Resolution No. 1540 as well as the acting of the European Union. The global security context is determined by the „Arab Spring“, military intervention in Libya, conflicts in Syria as well conflicts between the Palestinians and the Israelis, insufficient integration of Iran and especially of North Korea in the existing WMO regimes as well as the financial crisis. Continuous technological progress and an important role of non-state actors intensify the need to re-examine strategies, procedures and institutions at the global and national levels, strengthening and expansion of the existing agreements concerning the safety of all types of weapons of mass destruction and to re-examine the ability to respond to all possible scenarios of terrorist attacks. Although the number of states signatory to WMD conventions has been on the increase, it is evident that their approaches to the basic goals of the conventions are different, this especially concerning the intensification of measures of verification and inspection.
