Free Zones and Strategic Trade Controls
Free zones have been used in numerous WMD proliferation-related cases and present unique opportunities and incentives for proliferators. The article examines the ways in which free zones present a proliferation risk and recommends practical actions to strengthen strategic trade controls as a nonproliferation tool in the context of free zones. Existing international and regional legal frameworks, free zone incentives and vulnerabilities, and case studies are presented. The article concludes with recommendations in four specific areas: strengthening legal frameworks, empowering Customs authorities, training and awareness, and further research.
