Abstract: ‘Gulf Translations’ is a series that deals with the most prominent regional and international studies that address some of the important issues linked to the Gulf region. ‘Gulf Translations’ offers a number of studies that discern and analyze a wide palette of topics from an in-depth and objective perspective.

The present issue of ‘Gulf Translations’ is devoted to the issue of ‘International Compliance’ (A Strategy for Nuclear Security), as the conundrum of nuclear proliferation across the world represents today an issue that causes a lot of concern among international politicians and policy-makers, most prominent of whom is the US administration .

Given the critical importance of this particular issue and its close bearing on the security of the entire world, and out of concern on the part of the Gulf Research Center (GRC) to keep up with the various theses and suggestions put forward in a bid to articulate a strategy for global nuclear security, the GRC, which has launched an initiative slated to free the Gulf region of all types of weapons of mass destruction (WDS), has issued this study on international compliance.

The study was prepared by a pool of well-known specialized scholars and eminent academics with wide experience and knowledge. The objective has been to translate and publish this study in order to disseminate knowledge and make it available to students and scholars interested in this specific issue so they could benefit from the insights included out of the Center’s mission statement: ‘Knowledge for All’.
