Abstract
Dual-use export control regulates the trade of items which serve both civilian and
military purposes. Justification for imposing export controls has been furnished
by the need for safeguarding regional and international security, especially the
non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The rationale for applying export
controls has been subject to challenges, however. This Security and Human Rights
special issue addresses the underlying justification for imposing export controls by
focusing on their technological fronts. Scott A. Jones' piece sheds light on the regulatory
challenges that have arisen for the US' control over so-called emerging technologies.
Cindy Whang moves on to compare the US' approach with that of the EU's dual-use
export control. Ben Wagner proposes a set of policy options for the design of export
controls on digital technologies, so that they can serve as an effective vehicle for
promoting the protection of human rights.
