This paper is to analyze the current situation of international arms control and the ROK’s tasks. To this end the paper is composed of 5 chapters titled introduction; the concept and development of military control; current situation of the international arms control organizations and Korean activities; future tasks of arms control in the international community and Korea. International disarmament and nonproliferation agreements and organizations may be divided into: ①UN-related organizations, ② nuclear non-Proliferation regime, ③missile and space regulatory agreements and organizations, ④ conventions on the prohibition of biological and chemical weapons, ⑤conventions on the prohibition of conventional weapons, ⑥multilateral export control regimes; and ⑦WMD proliferation security initiative, such as the PSI. The trends in international and regional arms control in the Post-Cold War era can be summarized as: ①strengthening multi-party arms control negotiations, ②strengthening arms control activities through the UN and other international organizations, ③expanding the scope(target) of arms control, ④strengthening verification and implementation security measures, and ⑤activating arms control discussions at the regional level in parallel with the international dimension. The Korean government(Ministry of National Defense) has continued international cooperation to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction and to counter threats. The ROK’s military should do its best to support North Korea’s denuclearization and establishment of a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula, responding to the international community’s efforts for arms control and nonproliferation.
