The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation is a Washington, D.C. based non profit, non partisan research organization dedicated to enhancing international peace and security in the 21st century.

Along with its sister organization, Council for a Livable World, the Center has been at the forefront of U.S. arms control and national security policy for almost 50 years.

Our goals are to:

Reduce nuclear weapons — The Center works to promote efforts to reduce nuclear weapons stockpiles world-wide and strengthen treaty-based, global cooperative arms control efforts.

Increase non-proliferation efforts – The Center works to strengthen an international nuclear non-proliferation regime based on the Nuclear Non Proliferation treaty (NPT) and halt the spread of weapons of mass destruction to other states and non-state actors.

Optimize national security spending — The Center works to transform defense spending and strategy to better meet the threats of the 21st century and change the Cold War-era notion that military spending is worthwhile even if it doesn’t properly meet security threats.

Halt the spread of biological and chemical weapons — The Center works to enhance the transparency of biodefense programs worldwide to ensure that their development will be used for peaceful and not hostile purposes.

How we achieve our goals:

Monitor activities and developments in U.S. security policy

Educate executive level policy-makers and members of Congress and their staffs on key national security issues. The Center also informs the public, academics and the media about security policy developments.

Collaborate with other arms control and international security organizations to build consensus and support for sensible national security policy
