This was taken to AfD a bit less than a year ago, but that debate suffered from very low participation. Since then, the situation has not improved. No independent sources, not indexed in any selective databases. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals, hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 13:27, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Keep. Relevant WP:NJournals verbiage:
 * Criteria: If a journal meets any (boldface emphasis original) of the following criteria, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources, it qualifies for a stand-alone article. If a journal meets none of these criteria, it may still qualify for a stand-alone article, if it meets the conditions of WP:Notability or other notability criteria. The merits of an article on the journal will depend largely on the extent to which the material is verifiable through third-party sources. However, see the remarks section below before applying this guidance. Criterion 1: The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area.

The journal has been used as a source by NATO and the EastWest Institute. --2601:444:380:3A90:9C24:7E84:F43A:B918 (talk) 07:25, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, that's not completely correct. Some people related to those organizations published an article in this journal, which was reproduced on their websites. Nothing was said about the journal itself. Two citations doesn't show that a journal is "influential in its subject area". --Randykitty (talk) 14:05, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG. Please note that the aboved cited WP:NJournals is an essay, not policy. --MrClog (talk) 12:18, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
