Announced in 2003, the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) represents an effort by the U.S. to assemble a global response to the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and related materials. This paper first describes the defining characteristics of the PSI, to include the international security context in which it was introduced. Next, the progress achieved by the initiative is examined, mainly the interdiction of a shipment of WMD-related parts to Libya, exercises to enhance the program's operational reach, and boarding agreements with important flag state...
Announced in 2003, the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) represents an effort by the U.S. to assemble a global response to the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and related materials. This paper first describes the defining characteristics of the PSI, to include the international security context in which it was introduced. Next, the progress achieved by the initiative is examined, mainly the interdiction of a shipment of WMD-related parts to Libya, exercises to enhance the program's operational reach, and boarding agreements with important flag states. The interdiction of merchant vessel SO SAN, which pre-dated PSI, is included due its influence on the program and the insights it offers. Building upon those discussions, the paper highlights some of the challenges that must be addressed for the initiative to realize its full potential, namely the need for penetrating intelligence into proliferation activity and the legal considerations that can limit action in international waters. Recent and ongoing maritime operations conducted by NATO and the European Union (EU) are described thereafter due to their relevance to the PSI. The paper concludes with analysis of the ways in which NATO and the EU can contribute to the PSI if, as institutions, they make the political decision to do so.
