Abstract: Effects of voluntary private contributions to international security programs may include shifts in the locus of decision-making from national governmental apparatuses, escape of member states from fiscal responsibility, reduced coercion of taxation, exacerbation of tensions over control, amelioration of conflict, less frequent and intense resort to violence and military spending, and modifications in societal development. Precise measures for these effects are unusually difficult to establish, and therefore, given the inevitable uncertainty, serious doubts arise as to the sufficiency of grounds for violating the basic value of free consumer choice which in a fundamental sense prohibition of individual contributions constitutes.
