Description: ISN/CTR seeks to build foreign partner capacity to counter the malign impact of proliferator states&#8217; Advanced Conventional Weapons (ACW) sales, procurement, and proliferation networks. Proliferator states often use the sale of its weapons systems to exert malign influence, exacerbate regional conflicts, and develop long-term strategic defense dependencies. There is also a growing trend of the nexus across proliferator states to creating &#8220;no-limit&#8221; partnerships to circumvent sanctions regimes and provide weapons to nefarious state and non-state threat actors.
