Abstract
Arms control has been dominated by bilateral U.S./Russia negotiations and a plethora of partial measures, such as the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty. But what is needed is a new multilateral regime that can account for and control every gram of nuclear weapons capable material - fissile material. The regime must be comprehensive, universal, and enforceable. It can be built on many existing institutions and treaties, such as the IAEA and the NPT. The Nuclear Safety and Security Summits also provide a helpful model. But strong leadership from the United States will be required to launch this effort.
