FY19 Open Source Research and Capacity Building to Counter Nonproliferation Challenges

ISN/CTR sponsors foreign assistance activities funded by the Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account, and focuses on mitigating proliferation and security risks from state and non-state actors. ISN/CTR seeks to use its available tools to counter efforts by foreign entities that threaten U.S. nonproliferation and national security interests. Various United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs), and international and U.S. sanctions call upon states and individuals to refrain from conducting business with prohibited entities, including sales of advanced conventional weapons. The countries to be included in this engagement are global in scope, with a focus on existing or potential military, commercial, technological, and other transactions with prohibited entities.
