A
Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty: Understanding the Critical Issues
A mandate to negotiate a treaty banning the production
of fissile material for nuclear weapons has been under discussion
in the Conference of Disarmament (CD) in Geneva since 1994. On 29
May 2009 the Conference on Disarmament agreed a mandate to begin
those negotiations. Shortly afterwards, UNIDIR, with the support
of the Government of Switzerland, launched a project to support
this process. This publication is a compilation of various products
of the project, that hopefully will help to illuminate the critical
issues that will need to be addressed in the negotiation of a treaty
that stands to make a vital contribution to the cause of nuclear
disarmament and non-proliferation.
