Supporting the Hague Code of Conduct

Follow this thread to learn more about the EU-funded project around the Hague Code of Conduct #HCoC and implemented by @FRS_org ⬇️🧵 @FRS_org @eu_eeas @MJvanDeelenEU @EU_FPI

🌏 Last week, @Simon_Menet represented @FRS_org to the Asia Senior-Level Talks on Non-Proliferation #ASTOP 🤝 An opportunity to promote the #HCoC in the region 🙏 Thanks to the 🇯🇵 MoFA for the invitation & @eu_eeas 🇪🇺for the support. ▶️ About ASTOP : mofa.go.jp/press/release/…

🚨 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. 📖 nonproliferation.eu/hcoc/the-hcoc-… #HCoC

🚨 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: nonproliferation.eu/hcoc/the-shiel…

Today’s workshop in Vienna highlighted the HCoC’s role in transparency, non-proliferation and space security 🚀🤝 Cooperation and political commitment remain essential. Co-organized with @VCDNP, @MFA_Austria, @FRS_org and the HCoC chair 🇺🇾. #HCoC #NonProliferation

As of today, 145 states subscribed to the HCoC project, committing to annual declarations on missile capabilities and pre-launch notifications for missile and space launches. 🖱️Visit the HCoC website to understand how the HCoC works: hcoc.at

By subscribing to the #HCoC, states commit to transparency measures: ▶️annual declarations on ballistic missile capabilities and national policies ▶️pre-launch notifications for missile and space launches ▶️adherence to relevant UN treaties and intern. conventions on🌌security.

❓What is the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (#HCoC)? Supported by @FRS under an 🇪🇺 programme, the HCoC is the only politically binding multilateral framework addressing ballistic missile proliferation. ▶️youtube.com/watch?v=E2mXmj…

🇪🇺 European Union stands firmly with the @OPCW in upholding the global ban on chemical weapons. The EU backs @OPCW with €4.45M to dismantle Assad-era secret CW programs in Syria and expose those using toxic chemicals on Ukraine’s front lines. Accountability matters.

⬇️In this new @FRS_org note, Christian Maire and I analyzed the recent 🇷🇺 Russian 🚀 ICBM 🔥 failure near Dombarovsky to assess what was tested and what went wrong during the test. Using NOTAMs and imagery analysis, we determined that the RS-28 SARMAT was the most likely candidate, further undermining this already long-delayed strategic program. The note is currently available in French, but an English version should be released soon. In the meantime, automatic translation works well! 😊
