TITLE: Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material SERIES: Discussion Paper LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: GV.03.0.5 ISBN: 9290451459 SYMBOL: UNIDIR/2002/16 PAGES: 360 PRICE: $28.00 DESCRIPTION: Nuclear-weapon-free zones are a key component of the international nuclear non-proliferation regime. With the Declaration on the Denuclearization of Africa adopted in 1964, African states were among the first to decide on the denuclearization of their region. However, implementation of the declaration was delayed by South Africa's perilous nuclear weapons programme and their policy of apartheid. This book provides comprehensive details of the negotiations that lead to the conclusion of the Treaty of Pelindaba: The African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone. TITLE: Participatory Monitoring of Humanitarian Mine Action: Giving Voice to Citizens of Nicaragua, Mozambique and Cambodia LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: GV.03.0.6 ISBN: 9290451467 SYMBOL: UNIDIR/2002/19 PAGES: 124 PRICE: $15.00 DESCRIPTION: Since its entry into force on 1 March 1999, the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT) has been tremendously successful in attaining its aim of abolishing anti-personnel landmines. However, in terms of mine victim assistance, another goal sanctioned by the treaty, results have been much less heartening. This may be partially due to the weakness of existing formal monitoring of victim assistance mechanisms that fail to expose fully the needs and circumstances of mine affected communities. This publication explores the possibility of adopting participatory monitoring techniques on a trial basis in the heavily mined countries of Nicaragua, Mozambique and Cambodia. Such techniques, which draw on the involvement of the locals, promise to foster a better match between mine victim aid and mine victim needs and could prove instrumental in enhancing the rehabilitation of mine affected communities. TITLE: Scope and Implications of a Tracing Mechanism for Small Arms and Light Weapons SERIES: Small Arms Survey LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: GV.03.0.7 ISBN: 9290451475 SYMBOL: UNIDIR/2002/20 PAGES: 240 PRICE: $20.00 DESCRIPTION: This publication examines the problem of tracing illicit small arms and light weapons in conflict settings. It identifies political factors as being the main obstacle to progress in limiting these arms, and stresses the need for international cooperation to enable the relevant authorities to trace sources, supply routes, and diversion points of illicit weapons, in a timely and reliable manner. The following topics regarding the limitation of small arms and light weapons are also covered in this publication: what to mark and what to trace, marking and record-keeping systems and modalities of operations, structures and institutions necessary to support the effective operation of a firearms tracing mechanism, and finally, small arms and light weapons traceability, a comparison of the principal existing international mechanisms.

The paper is divided into four sections. Section 1 provides an introduction to the region. Section 2 reports on the current status of internal conflicts in the region.

SALES #: GV.02.0.7 ISBN: 9290451432 SYMBOL: UNIDIR/2002/11 PAGES: 166 PRICE: $20.00 DESCRIPTION: Following the New York terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, the issue of terrorists using weapons of mass destruction, in particular fissile materials, has been raised on numerous occasions. The continuing lack of control over tactical nuclear weapons means that there is a clear and present danger that these weapons may at some point end up in the hands of terrorists. In response to this concern, the Secretary General's Advisory Board on Disarmamant Matters, UNIDIR, held two workshops to study the situation regarding tactical nuclear weapons. The workshops looked at issues of transparency, verification, control, legislation, terrorism, potential development of TNW and the link to concerns over nuclear testing. This volume is a collection of some of the papers that were presented at the New York workshop. TITLE: Costs of Disarmament: Rethinking the Price Tag - A Methodological Inquiry into the Costs and Benefits of Arms Control LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: GV.02.0.3 ISBN: 9290451416 SYMBOL: UNIDIR/2002/5 PAGES: 84 PRICE: $16.00 DESCRIPTION: This study investigates the methodological challenges of analyzing the costs and benefits associated with arms control. The need for such a study has arisen because the cumulative increases in the cost of treaty compliance have impeded arms control implementation and contributed to its growing marginalization. In this publication, the issues are examined in detail. Background material on the rising costs of disarmament is provided and the methodological challenges of analyzing the costs and benefits of arms control are examined. Finally, this publication looks at the averted costs of arms control, namely arms racing, military expenditure increases, opportunity costs and the costs of war.

The lexicon provides clear and precise definitions of arms control terms and places these terms in a historical context. A common vocabulary and a shared understanding of achievements at the global level and in other regions can only facilitate the exploratory discussions that have been taking place for some time and the official negotiation and agreements that must eventually be realized.
