Explain the Wassenaar Arrangement
What will be an ideal response?
In July 1996, 33 countries—including Canada, France, Great Britain, Japan, Russia, and the United States—approved the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. As of July 2011 there were 40 members of the Wassenaar Arrangement. Its goals are to promote transparency, the exchange of views and information, and greater responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies. Member countries, through their own national policies, seek to ensure that such transfers do not contribute to the development or enhancement of military capabilities that undermine international and regional security and are not diverted to support such capabilities. The Wassenaar Arrangement, however, is not meant to impede bona fide transactions and is not directed against any state or group of states.
