#HCoC remains a vital transparency tool in curbing missile proliferation—a growing threat&contributor to global instability. Concerned about DPRK&Iran ballistic missiles program pursuit & RUS deliberate large-scale missile attacks against UKR. EU’s support—more urgent than ever.

The VCDNP joined international partners in organising a side event on links between #HCoC and #space launch technologies at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation 🇺🇳🚀

🚨 The Iran crisis confirms it: ballistic missiles are now conventional weapons of war. When dual-use systems fly in the hundreds, knowing what payload they carry becomes critical.
This is why HCoC matters. Arms control remains key to security.

🚨 As Iran fires ballistic missiles at Israel, Qatar, UAE & Bahrain in response to #OperationEpicFury, one question becomes urgent: does missile defence reduce proliferation— or fuel them?
Our research paper addressed this issue in November 2025: https://t.co/NNs1J7n7uC
