The 2011 Conference on Disarmament began contentiously when Pakistan's representative criticized U.S. support for full Indian membership in export control organizations that would allow it to engage in nuclear trade. This Peace Brief seeks to capture some of the areas of contention, including the Pakistani block of a fissile material cutoff treaty, and place them in the context of Pakistan's larger strategic and security concerns vis-à-vis India.
