Synopsis

This reference book is meant to be used as either a reference book or a glossary. As a reference book, it introduces the key concepts of arms control and disarmament in sections dealing with technical aspects of the four categories of weapons conventional, biological, chemical, and nuclear and their delivery systems; arms agreements and trust between states; arms control and disarmament negotiations, and mechanisms of verification and compliance. Within each section are individual glossaries providing short definitions of important terms highlighted elsewhere in the section. The material is published in English and Arabic.
