Wassenaar Arrangement
January 13, 2026
The Wassenaar Arrangement has been established in order to contribute to regional and international security and stability, by promoting transparency and greater responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations. The aim is also to prevent the acquisition of these items by terrorists.
Japan has participated in the Wassenaar Arrangement since its inception, engaging in international coordination and practicing strict export control.
