Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) is to prevent or at least inhibit the spread of weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems, and related materials to or from states or non-state actors whose possession of such items would be a serious threat to global or regional security. So far, 91 countries have officially affiliated with PSI and participate in its activities. However, five key nations, whose addition would enhance PSI's effectiveness, have so far been reluctant to do so. The authors look at the situation from the perspectives of these five "hold-out" nations -- Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, and China -- to assess the disadvantages (costs) and advantages (benefits) that, when weighed against each other, have induced them to refrain from PSI affiliation. They then set out ways in which each country's costs-and-benefits balance might be altered to enhance the prospects of its deciding to affiliate with PSI in the near future. They also describe ideas that might be developed and steps that might be taken to enhance PSI's inclusiveness and effectiveness in the future." -- provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) was conceived in 2003 as a response to a growing threat of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. As it marks its 10th anniversary, the initiative faces a continually evolving set of challenges in its efforts to target the transport of consignments of proliferation concern: despite the participation of over 100 states, a number of key states remain opposed, and questions about its legality, activities and effectiveness persist. This Policy Paper summarizes and clarifies the commitments that a state enters into when it endorses the PSI Statement of Interdiction Principles, examines the legal bases that underpin the initiative, identifies some of the key challenges that it faces, and explores the operational realities of undertaking PSI activities. By doing so, it will help inform the decision making of states considering participation in the PSI, but it will also be of interest to a wider audience and contribute to a better understanding of the PSI more generally.

Download or read book The Proliferation Security Initiative as a New Paradigm for Peace and Security written by Mark R. Shulman and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author examines the Proliferation Security Initiative--a multinational activity launched in 2003 to enable the United States and like-minded countries to interdict the flow of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). This Initiative also may bring dramatic changes the international security system by enabling concerned states to interdict international trade in WMD regardless of the location or nationality of their owners. As such, the Proliferation Security Initiative not only addresses one of the most urgent threats to peace and security that the world has ever witnessed, but it does so in an innovative way that has the potential to change the basic paradigm of peace and security by legitimizing the proportional and discriminating use of force to prevent a great harm. The author argues that the Initiative can be most successful by building broad support through increased transparency and a greater willingness to address forth-rightly the legal challenges that it faces.

Book excerpt: The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) was announced in 2003 to enhance U.S. efforts to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction. In 2006, it was recommended that agencies establish clear PSI policies and procedures and performance indicators. In 2007, Congress enacted a law calling for the admin. to expand and strengthen PSI. This report assesses: (1) the extent to which the admin. issued a PSI directive and submitted required PSI-related reports; (2) steps U.S. agencies have taken to establish clear PSI policies and procedures, structures, budgets, and performance indicators; and (3) U.S. agencies' efforts to increase cooperation and coordination with PSI countries and develop a strategy to resolve interdiction issues.

Book excerpt: The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) is a global initiative aimed at stopping shipments of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their delivery systems, and related materials worldwide, announced by President Bush May 31, 2003. It stems from the National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction issued in December 2002. That Strategy recognizes the need for more robust tools to defeat the proliferation of WMD around the world, and specifically identifies interdiction as an area where greater focus will be placed. The goal of PSI is to create a more dynamic, creative, and proactive approach to preventing proliferation to or from nation states and non-state actors of proliferation concern.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) has shown to be an effective means of engaging a large number of countries in activities that increase their capacity to interdict consignments of WMD-related materials while in transit. Nevertheless, the breadth and tempo of those activities have varied significantly during the first 10 years of PSI's existence. This has likely been due to budget constraints, the types of exercises conducted, and a certain level of initiative fatigue. Other factors include PSI's reliance on voluntary actions taken by countries, and the lack of PSI-dedicated budgets during a time of greater fiscal austerity. PSI has also had a mixed record of success in expanding legal frameworks to support interdictions. Great strides have been made in developing an international legal basis to interdict shipments of concern moving to and from North Korea and Iran. However, international conventions that criminalize all chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons-related trafficking within national territories have attracted few adherents. PSI has achieved wide support in many crucial regions, but China remains uncommitted. Given the size of its merchant fleet and port activity, initiative outreach to China should remain a top priority.

Book excerpt: "In 2003, the Bush Administration announced the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) to enhance U.S. efforts to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). PSI is not a program housed in only one agency, but instead is a set of activities with participation by multiple U.S. agencies and other countries. Congress recommended that the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of State (State) establish policies, procedures, and indicators to measure results and required that they submit annual reports. It also mandated that GAO report on PSI effectiveness. In 2008, GAO likewise recommended that law enforcement agencies also establish policies, procedures, and performance indicators.This report assesses (1) the progress relevant agencies have made since 2008 in establishing recommended PSI policies and procedures and issuing required annual reports; and (2) the extent to which PSI activities have enhanced and expanded U.S. counterproliferation efforts.GAO reviewed and analyzed agency documents and interviewed officials from State, DOD, and other agencies with PSI responsibilities."
