Regional perspective on global disarmament treaties

Abstract

The “Arab Spring” will without a doubt change existing fundamental dynamics. It will have significant implications on the political and security settings in the Middle East. Public opinion will play a more significant and prominent role in the formulation of disarmament and security issues. The parliament with its foreign affairs, Arab affairs and National Security committees will be at the forefront of foreign policy issues in the Arab world. Disarmament is central to the security and stability of the Middle East.
