The proliferation of unconventional weapons — nuclear, chemical and biological, and their means of delivery. to countries such as Iran and North Korea is recognised as one of most pressing international security issues today. Historically, states pursuing such programmes have benefitted from technology or assistance from outside their jurisdictions. The US nuclear programme, for example, benefitted from the expertise of émigré scientists from Europe and uranium from the Belgian Congo. In the present day, aspi. rant states do not have the advanced manufacturing or knowledge base to produce all of the required technology in sufficient quantities and qualities. Consequentially, these states have been seeking these technologies from the international marketplace.
