The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA), set up in 1996 in the Netherlands, is a voluntary export-control regime for conventional arms and dual-use technologies, headquartered in Vienna. It promotes responsible transfers and transparency while preventing destabilising accumulations.
India joined in 2017, gaining better access to high-tech items. Today, WA faces calls for reform as its framework struggles to regulate cloud services, SaaS, AI, and digital surveillance tools, highlighting the need to adapt to new-age security threats.
