The Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCOC)

The Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCOC) is an international agreement aimed at preventing the spread of ballistic missile technology, which can be used to deliver dangerous weapons. Participating countries commit to transparency and responsible behavior by sharing information about their missile programs and refraining from assisting nations that develop missile arsenals without proper safeguards. The goal is to reduce tensions, promote stability, and prevent the proliferation of weapons that could threaten peace and security worldwide. It is a voluntary effort fostering cooperation and confidence among nations to control missile technology responsibly.
