Constituting the global biological weapons control regimes are various international instruments and a range of policies. These include policies like export controls, technology denial, biosafety and biosecurity, national and international prohibitions. This paper describes the existing international export controls of agents, materials, equipment, and technology related to biological weapons. The central conclusion is that export control of biological weapons, in place of being an appropriate response to the advances in biological sciences, has been a function of security perceptions of states.
