The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN) is responsible for managing a broad range of U.S. nonproliferation polices, programs, agreements, and initiatives. ECC is one of twelve offices within ISN and designs, implements, and administers the Export Control and Border Security Program (EXBS) Program. EXBS promotes the adoption of strategic trade controls for WMD, their systems of delivery, destabilizing conventional weapons, and related items and technologies including emerging technologies, and builds capabilities to detect, interdict, investigate, and prosecute illicit transfers of such items. Building partners’ capabilities to disrupt proliferation networks and prevent unauthorized transfers to actors of concern creates a force-multiplier effect augmenting U.S. diplomatic and technical nonproliferation efforts in the UN, within international organizations, and as part of multilateral export control regimes.
