ACRS Oral History Project

The ACRS Oral History Project, a collaboration between the Wilson Center and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, unearths the untold story of the Arms Control Regional Security (ACRS) Working Group negotiations. Established as part of the 1991 Madrid Peace Conference, the ACRS Working Group was a groundbreaking initiative to foster arms control and regional security dialogue among Middle Eastern nations. By gathering candid insights from key participants and unveiling rare, previously inaccessible documents, this project shed new light on a pivotal chapter in Middle Eastern history.
