The Australia Group is an informal association of countries that attempt to control exports to avoid weapon development. Other examples of these types of groups are the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, and the Wassenaar Agreement. Do you think these groups are effective in achieving non-proliferation? What are their shortcomings? Could such a group be implemented under a UN body?
