Summary: In January 1992 the UN Security Council pledged to take appropriate action to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, their means of delivery, and of advanced conventional weapons. This proliferation was identified as a threat to international peace and security and, until the Gulf War, it was believed that a robust regime for arms control had been contructed. The author analyses the history of control practices both pre- and post-Gulf War and seeks to demonstrate that both the language used to talk about weapons proliferation and the practices adopted to respond to it define the problem in ways that promote policy responses that are doomed to failure.
