Multilateral export control regime
A multilateral export control regime is an informal group of like-minded supplier countries that seek to contribute to the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, delivery systems, and advanced conventional weapons through national implementation of guidelines and control lists for exports.
For a chart of national membership in different regimes, see the chapter on "Transfer controls".
There are currently four such regimes:
- The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies
- The Nuclear Suppliers Group, for the control of nuclear and nuclear-related technology
- The Australia Group for the control of chemical and biological technology that could be weaponized
- The Missile Technology Control Regime for the control of rockets and other aerial vehicles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction
