Washington Post: Australia sanctioned?

by Sam Roggeveen - 19 August 2009 3:25PM

Do readers have any idea what this could be a reference to?

Similarly, Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, said: "If we wink at this nuclear-capable rocket launch...how in the world can we object to North Korean and Iranian tests without looking like hypocrites?" Sokolski says Washington has been slowly relaxing a missile nonproliferation policy that led to sanctions or other pressures against South Africa, Australia, Israel, India, Brazil and Argentina.

Perhaps Sokolski was misquoted. He has written a couple of guest posts for The Interpreter in the past, so I will email him for more information.

Interpreting the Aid Review

This is the archive of a Lowy Institute blog which ran from January to April of 2011. It was published to debate the Gillard Government's independent aid review, which was then in its research and consultation phase. We offer this archive as a service to researchers and the general public.
