International Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation
- International Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation
The International Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (ICOC), also known as the Hague Code of Conduct, was established November 25 2002 as an arrangement to prevent the proliferation of ballistic missiles.
Originally signed by 93 countries, this non-legally binding regime has grown to 124 members (April 2006). The ICOC does not ban ballistic missiles, but it does call for restraint in their production, testing, and export.
While the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) has a similar mission, it is an export group with only 34 members.
