What is the correct spelling of the multilateral control regime mentioned for dual-use items?

• A. Wassanaar Arrangement
• B. Wassenaar Arrangement
• C. Wassenaar Agreement
• D. Wassanaar Agreement

Answer: (A)

The important idea is the name of the multinational framework that governs export controls for dual-use goods and technologies. This regime is spelled Wassenaar Arrangement, named after the Dutch town of Wassenaar where it was negotiated. The correct spelling uses double s and the sequence “Wassenaar.” The other spellings shown are misspellings or refer to a different Dutch agreement unrelated to export controls. In official export-control materials, you’ll see Wassenaar Arrangement as the proper term.
