The Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium's report, "Effective and Comprehensive CBRN Security Risk Management in the 21st Century," argues that a new approach is needed to address security concerns related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the 21st century. This approach should focus on strengthening international norms against the development, spread, and use of WMD and ensuring the comprehensive implementation of relevant regulatory instruments through the internalization of safety and security practices among relevant professional communities. The authors suggest that effective CBRN security risk management requires the integration of national, regional, and international strategic approaches that promote and uphold the norms of WMD non-proliferation and disarmament.
