👉 The Agreements Weapon, also known as the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), is an international agreement aimed at preventing the spread of missile technology and related dual-use goods and services that could be used for the development of weaponized ballistic missiles. Established in 1987 by a group of 12 countries, the MTCR seeks to reduce the risk of proliferation of these technologies through voluntary export controls and information sharing among its members. By limiting the transfer of missiles, rocket engines, and related components, the Agreements Weapon aims to curb the potential for these technologies to fall into the hands of states or non-state actors seeking to develop their own ballistic missile capabilities, thereby enhancing global security.
