The International Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation, also known as the Hague Code of Conduct (HCOC), was established in 2002 as an arrangement to prevent the proliferation of ballistic missiles.
It is the only normative instrument to verify the spread of ballistic missiles.
The HCOC does not ban ballistic missiles, but it does call for restraint in their production, testing, and export.
As agreed by the conference in The Hague, Austria serves as the Immediate Central Contact (Executive Secretariat) and therefore coordinates the information exchange of the HCOC.
India joined the HCOC in 2016.
While the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) has a similar mission, it is an export group with only 35 members.
Total members in the conduct 138.
