A mandate to negotiate a treaty banning the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons has been under discussion in the Conference of Disarmament (CD) in Geneva since 1994. On 29 May 2009 the Conference on Disarmament agreed a mandate to begin those negotiations. Shortly afterwards, UNIDIR, with the support of the Government of Switzerland, launched a project to support this process. This publication is a compilation of various products of the project, that hopefully will help to illuminate the critical issues that will need to be addressed in the negotiation of a treaty that stands to make a vital contribution to the cause of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.

"Space Security 2010: From Foundations to Negotiations" is the ninth annual conference held by UNIDIR on the issue of space security, the peaceful uses of outer space and the prevention of an arms race in outer space. This conference focused on exploring the technological constraints and opportunities for a space security regime, elaborating on the latest developments in efforts by multilateral, governmental, academic and industrial organizations to craft solutions to different pieces of the space security puzzle, and considering what lessons previous arms control and confidence-building negotiations might have for future negotiations about instruments for securing space.
