| Description | This chapter looks at the European Union's (EU) support for global Weapons of Mass Destruction non-proliferation institutions, their treaties and informal export control mechanisms and considers the potential for expanding the European non-proliferation research agenda beyond its current focus on policy analysis to the theoretical. The global non-proliferation regime consists of an extensive network of treaties, formal international organisations and informal regimes. The 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty is a major international non-proliferation treaty that bans any nuclear test explosions. With 188 states parties, the Chemical Weapons Convention almost universally prohibits the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention, transfer or use of chemical weapons. Apart from formal international organisations in the field of non-proliferation such as the International Atomic Energy Agency or the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the EU has also strong links with informal regimes active in matters of nonproliferation, in particular the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Australia Group.
