Summary
The concluding chapter draws together the key arguments raised in this book and offers some observations on how Article 36 mechanisms would need to be reconceptualised to meet the challenges posed by the emerging military technology. It also emphasises that conducting weapons reviews involves a learning curve. As much as Article 36 mechanisms require a good level of legal and technical expertise, they cannot operate without institutional commitment and a settled interpretation of the review elements.
