	World Military Spending On Rise After Sept 11 - 9/11 - Global Policy Forum
		SIPRI said: "The magnitude of the changes that are needed to protect nuclear material against terrorist attacks has not been widely appreciated.
		SIPRI researcher Shannon Kile told the conference the Kashmir conflict looked like "one of the most perilous situations" the international community had faced in a long time.
		SIPRI said there were 24 major armed conflicts in 22 locations in 2001, down from 25 conflicts in 23 locations the year before.

	Russian Arms Exports - CDI Russia Weekly #262
		SIPRI expert Siemon Weseman admits that the evaluations of the institute, which are based on the number of "combat platforms" (planes, tanks, guns and other combat systems), do not reflect financial indicators of the arms exporters.
		SIPRI's evaluation of Russia's arms exports over 2002 - to the amount of $5.941 billion - is due to large quantities of warplanes Russia supplied abroad, says Konstantin Makiyenko, an expert with the Strategies and Technologies Analysis Center.
		As a result, according to SIPRI's rating, last year Israel's sum aggregate of the arms exports was only $178 million, while the Israeli defense ministry has already announced that Israel's volume of military exports reached $3 billion last year, mainly at the expense of marketing control systems.

		Some countries were seeing the benefits of cooperation and it was therefore "hasty to assume that the unilateral rather than the multilateral approach to wielding power will shape the globe's future," she said.
		SIPRI noted that there were several initiatives to limit the use and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, with a special emphasis on North Korean and Iranian nuclear programmes.
		In pre-war Iraq, SIPRI said that American and allied claims that the country possessed such weapons "were inaccurate and unsupported by the available evidence".

	Sipri Year Book -1997
		Sipri (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) is a truly international assemblage of some of the most competent scholars who ceaselessly work on issues of armament, disarmament and international security.
		When I visited Sipri in 1995, I was amazed to see that nearly anything published anywhere on things 'military' could be found in the archives of Sipri Frosunda - which is located on a picturesque aquatic locale with shady and tall trees all round it.
		The activities of Sipri are overseen by a Convening Board and the Director who is a sitting member of the Board.

	SIPRI History
		SIPRI was indeed committed by its Statutes to assess the consequences of world military developments for world security, not national security or NATO security.
		SIPRI’s first Statutes (1966) required it to recruit its researchers from different regions and from states with different political and economic systems–that is, there had to be researchers from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe as well as from the United States and Western Europe.
		The choice of the arms trade for research also served to show that SIPRI was not exclusively concerned with the central confrontation between the two blocs: it was a matter of interest to Third World states–although of course it was linked to the global struggle between the two power blocs as well.

		SIPRI said five countries - the US, Britain, France, Japan and China - accounted for almost two-thirds of the world's military spending, of which the US share alone was 47 percent of the total.
		SIPRI said: "The conflict against al-Qaeda, the conflict in Iraq and the conflict in Darfur, Sudan" were the only three conflicts less than 10 years old.
		SIPRI said intra-state conflicts were complex due to the diversity of warring parties, and fighting was often waged in remote areas, citing Darfur in western Sudan, as an example.

		SIPRI estimates cover a reasonably broad definition of what constitutes defence expenditure, but in as much as these estimates too rely on published documents, the assumption must be that the SIPRI data is also not complete.
		SIPRI estimates of military outlays in the two South Asian countries during the 1990s provide a basis for comparison.
		Where data presented earlier have been either of official nature or of SIPRI estimates, the exercise here takes a larger sweep of all defence, para-military and related expenditure an aspect which is of particular importance to the nuclearisation of the two countries.

		Above all, it is generally agreed in Russia that the nuclear forces should have highest priority in the Russian defence posture to compensate for the absolute and relative weakening of the country's conventional capabilities, as an 'umbrella' for implementing military reform and as the only remaining heritage of the Soviet superpower status.
		It remains to be seen whether the funds devoted to these projects, which can destroy political confidence as well as deter conflict, will produce systems that contribute meaningfully to their security or simply signal desperation in the face of US technological accomplishment.
		In 1998 continued actual or suspected cases of the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons in the absence of a comprehensive arms control and disarmament agenda raised the question of whether to respond using the threat or actual use of force, sanctions or technology denial.

		According to the SIPRI Yearbook, the United States now accounts for 43 percent of world military expenditure.

		It appears that Sipri which is mainly financed by the Swedish Parliament is also experiencing some financial problems.
		Hithertofore I used to get all their publications - and there are a number of these which are published in the form of research papers the year round - (both hard bound and paperbacks) gratis.
		The entire work is checked - and perhaps rechecked before it is published in the year book which I suppose is the centre-piece of all Sipri work - which as it is - is considered as one of the most authentic in the realm of security issues.

	Iraq invasion may boost WMD acquisition: SIPRI -DAWN - International; 10 June, 2004
		Ms Bailes noted that the main justification for the invasion of Iraq, a supposed threat from WMD, "crumbled" later, undermining the credibility in general of efforts to ensure the non-proliferation of such weapons.
		The problems showed "that the challenges of post-war stabilization may be greater than those of war itself" and that the United States was "likely to need wider international support to achieve its objectives", SIPRI said.
		US arms outlays will continue to grow, SIPRI said, but the pace may slow as the pre-emptive war doctrine is challenged "on both ethical and international law grounds, as well as because of the large costs and dubious successes associated with it".

	US supremacy drive unsettling for friends and foes alike: SIPRI -DAWN - International; June 18, 2003
		The end of the Cold War has seen the emergence of a system governed by power play, and pessimists see Washington’s policy of creating a unilateral world as contributing to overall instability, it said in its 2002 annual report.
		But SIPRI warned of the risks of the American approach of “conflating might and right”, saying that this is a safe strategy only for a state “that can be sure of its current supremacy in all dimensions and of keeping that supremacy indefinitely”.
		SIPRI noted that conflicts in Chechnya, Colombia, Nepal and that between Israel and the Palestinians intensified substantially during 2002, while those in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sri Lanka, Somalia and Sudan came close to achieving a resolution.—AFP

		The impact of the war - justified by the United States and its allies by the alleged existence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) - on weapons proliferation and terrorism was difficult to assess but there was a risk it would increase demand for powerful weaponry, SIPRI said in its annual report.
		Bailes noted that the main justification for the war on Iraq, a supposed threat from WMD, "crumbled" later, undermining the credibility in general of efforts to ensure the non-proliferation of such weapons.
		The post-war problems showed "that the challenges of post-war stabilisation may be greater than those of war itself" and that the United States was "likely to need wider international support to achieve its objectives", SIPRI said.

	Delayed Toxic Effects of Chemical Warfare Agents
		Stockholm International Peace Research Institute SIPRI is an independent institute for research into problems of peace and conflict, with particular attention to disarmament and arms regulation.
		It is neces-sary, however, to deal with various aspects of the observable effects of these poisons on man, since the SIPRI study, for obvious reasons, treats this topic only in a general way.
		The advent of binary weapon technology might also lead to a reappraisal of other highly toxic organophosphorus compounds, which only a few years ago were dismissed as potential CW agents because of their unsuitable properties—for example, poor transport and storage stability.

		Dr. Adam Daniel Rotfeld, Director of SIPRI, agreed with the Secretary- General that, after the end of the cold war, concern over nuclear weapons had seemed to drift from public consciousness.
		He went on to challenge the nuclear-weapon States to live up to their commitments under article VI provisions of the Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and to demonstrate that commitment by modifying their security policy and operations in the direction of the complete elimination of nuclear weapons.
		Wayi Omitoogun, a SIPRI researcher, argued that Africa has not practised arms control for a variety of reasons, both historical and political.

		This paper is based on the chapter on military expenditure in the SIPRI Yearbook 2003 and on subsequent research.
		Data on military expenditures encounter a number of problems, both in terms of validity—what is it that these data are an indicator of—and reliability—the extent to which they reflect the total and actual spending for military purposes.
		• Brazil is an interesting case, which we elaborate on in the SIPRI Yearbook 2004, because the cut in its military expenditure in 2003 was due not merely to economic constraints or default, but was the result also of a change in policy.

		The "weaponization" of outer space has reappeared on the arms agenda, SIPRI said, noting the United States' quest for "full-spectrum dominance" -- the ability to dominate space and deny its use to other countries -- which has led to growing concerns of a destabilizing arms race.
