The agreement late last year in the CD to establish an Ad Hoc Committee to negotiate a ban on the production of fissile material has encouraged UNIDIR to dedicate this issue of Disarmament Forum to that topic. Included are forward-looking appraisals written by experts on what will be key factors, topics and divisions in the negotiations. Also included in this issue is a completely updated edition of The Fissile Material Cut-Off Debate: A Bibliographical Survey (UNIDIR Research Report no. 38), first published in 1996. This is a useful compilation of recent articles in English and French concerning fissile materials.
