What constitutes a “country of concern?” Would failure of a state to join a nonproliferation regime automatically qualify it as a state of concern?
Paragraph 1 of the PSI Statement of Interdiction Principles contains a definition of “states or non-state actors of proliferation concern.” This definition says that, “states or non-state actors of proliferation concern generally refers to those countries or entities that the PSI participants involved establish should be subject to interdiction activities because they are engaged in proliferation through: (1) efforts to develop or acquire chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons and associated delivery systems; or (2) transfers (either selling, receiving, or facilitating) of WMD, their delivery systems, or related materials.” The basis for considering a state “of proliferation concern” is not whether or not a state has joined multilateral nonproliferation treaties or regimes.
