Overview

The Fund for Peace is an

independent, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) non-

profit research and educational organization

that works to prevent violent conflict and

promote sustainable security.

We promote sustainable security through

research, training and education, engagement

of civil society, building bridges across

diverse sectors, and developing innovative

technologies and tools for policy makers.

A leader in the conflict assessment and early

warning field, the Fund for Peace focuses on

the problems of weak and failing states. Our

objective is to create practical tools and

approaches for conflict mitigation that are

useful to decision-makers.

The Fund for Peace offers a wide range of

initiatives focused on our central objective:

to promote sustainable security and the

ability of a state to solve its own problems

peacefully without an external military or

administrative presence. Our programs fall

into three primary thematic areas:

• Conflict Early Warning and Assessment;

• Transnational Threats; and

• Sustainable Development, Sustainable

Security.

After three years of project work, in January

2009, The Fund for Peace established its

program on Threat Convergence to explore

the linkages among the three biggest threats

to global security: fragile states, the

proliferation of weapons of mass destruction

(WMD), and terrorism. The program aims to:

• raise the profile of the challenges in

vulnerable, fragile and ungoverned regions

on the nonproliferation agenda;

• explore how these regions may serve as

enabling environments for nuclear

terrorism;

• promote more coherent and strategic

policy approaches to nuclear terrorism and

illicit nuclear trafficking; and

• become a hub for threat convergence-

related analysis.

The program encourages innovative and

fresh approaches to the issue by convening

experts, performing extensive field research

in some of the world’s most difficult

environments, and by partnering with

international and regional organizations to

explore how the threat of catastrophic

terrorism emanating from weak and failing

states can be prevented.

Export Control Laws and Projects in Place

Indonesia Indonesia does not participate in any multinational export control regimes, though it has implemented national

export control regulations, such as Regulation No. 29/2008 concerning the exportation of pengion radiation resources

Malaysia Malaysia does not participate in any multinational export control regimes nor did it have any national legislation

concerning the export of nuclear materials or technology. It does receive assistance from the United States through

the Export Control and Border-Related Security (EXBS) program to improve its export control system. However,

Malaysia’s lack of export controls caught negative international attention as it became a transit route for WMD related

materials. In April 2010 Malaysia released the Strategic Trade Act, which illegalized the shipment of WMD related

materials through Malaysia. The law represents an important first step in compliance with UNSCR 1540.

Myanmar Myanmar’s Notification 10/1999 prohibits the trade, border trade, and transit trade of firearms. A series of internal

laws regulate the trafficking of weapons and illicit chemicals. Not a participant in the CS/NP/MP initiatives.

Philippines The Philippines has implemented several national export control measures concerning the transfer of nuclear

materials and technology, including: the Republic Act 6969, the Republic Act 2067 and the Republic Act 5207.

National legislation establishes control over the importation, exportation, procurement, processing and handling of,

inter alia, radioactive materials and instruments, atomic energy facilities and materials, chemical substances, and

explosives. The Philippines also received U.S. assistance through a developmental grant from the Export Control and

Border-Related Security (EXBS) program in September 2006.

Singapore Singapore has implemented several export control measures including the Strategic Goods (Control) Act, which

regulates the transfer of goods and technology that could be used for the production of WMD, the Regulation of

Imports and Exports Acts, Arms and Explosives Act, and the Chemical Weapons (Prohibition) Act.

Thailand Thailand has several export control laws which regulate the transfer of arms and toxic chemicals. As of 2005,

Thailand planned to implement an end-user certification system to bolster export control efforts. Thailand has

received assistance through the Export Control and Border Security (EXBS) program to improve port and border

security and strengthen export controls regarding munitions, dual use goods, and related technologies.

Vietnam Vietnam has regulations governing the use of nuclear, chemical and biological materials, including the Environmental

Protection Act and the Law on Atomic Energy. Vietnam law also has criminalized terrorism and regulates the

possession of any type of weapon. Vietnam is involved in nonproliferation regimes and takes advantage of training

programs through the Export Control and Border Security (EXBS) program.
