WMD terrorism has become a real threat. Even the probability of terrorist organizations using fissile material to build a crude nuclear device is realistic. This publication looks at national and international efforts aimed at curbing WMD terrorism. It examines the different policies worked out by the international community: unilateral and multilateral initiatives, coalitions of the willing and the role of international organizations, both universal, such as the United Nations and the IAEA, and regional, such as NATO and the EU. Unilateralism and ad hoc coalitions are seen as a means for complementing multilateralism and the work done by international organizations.
