Description

Since India and Pakistan tested nuclear weapons in 1998, there has been a debate on whether the U.S. should provide assistance in making those weapons safer and more secure. In the wake of September 11, 2001, interest in this kind of assistance grew for several reasons: the possibility of terrorists gaining access to Pakistan's nuclear weapons seems higher, the U.S. military is forging new relationships with both Pakistan and India in the war on terrorism, and heightened tension in Kashmir in 2002 threatened to push both states closer to the brink of nuclear war. In the 108th Congress, the Nunn-Lugar Expansion Act allowed the Dept. of Defense (DOD) to spend up to $50 million in unobligated funds on cooperative threat reduction (CTR) measures outside the former Soviet Union. In the 109th Congress, it was likely that similar legislation would be introduced again. The Bush admin. used $20 million of CTR funds to dismantle chemical weapons-related items in Albania, but proponents of expanding CTR have mentioned many other countries as possible recipients, such as India, Pakistan, China, North Korea, Iraq, and Libya. This report describes why Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) programs developed for the former Soviet Union are considered models for assistance elsewhere and their potential application in India and Pakistan. The report considers the types of assistance provided under CTR and potential constraints on U.S. assistance in this area, including domestic and international legal and political restrictions on cooperation with states outside the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT); the low level of cooperation and transparency exhibited by India and Pakistan; lack of incentives for India and Pakistan to pursue threat reduction measures; and potentially competing objectives of threat reduction and nuclear deterrence. This is a print on demand report.
