SIPRI Yearbook 2006
Armaments, Disarmament and International Security
‘In today’s uncertain and complex world, the formulation of goals for security-related action cannot stop at the idea of doing good, and doing it in the right ways. To show, and to convince world opinion, that any given security move is good is perhaps the toughest demand of all.’
From the Introduction by SIPRI Director Alyson J. K. Bailes
