Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction

In this paper you will find information about proliferation risks. The paper is particularly meant for companies and scientific institutions.

The AIVD has an active information programme for Dutch companies and scientific institutions in order to make them aware of the risks of becoming involved in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Countries -and also terrorists - seeking to develop such weapons often try to conceal the fact that the goods, technology and knowledge they wish to procure are intended for the production of weapons. This paper presents an overview of frequently used methods and it gives advice on how a company or institution can prevent getting involved in such practices.
