Foreword / The structure and logic of the WMD ban regime -- Evolution of the WMD control regime -- Baseline information : declarations and data collection -- Technical monitoring -- Controlling supply : procurement and import/export monitoring -- Verification by on-site inspection -- Compliance issues and recourse -- Building an effective WMD control regime -- Building effective management for the regime -- Conclusion. Hans Blix -- 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
"The book examines the three verification organizations that form the core of the emerging WMD control regime - the International Atomic Energy Agency, the organizations established under the Comprehensive Test-Ban Treaty and the Chemical Weapons Convention. A comparative study shows how their roles can be strengthened and used as a foundation for a more complete regime, beginning with the creation of a verification mechanism for the Biological Weapons Convention. The United States is presently sceptical about the value of international verification. The book addresses the verifiability issue by analysing the strengths and weaknesses in each organization and recommending ways to strengthen the process and enhance its management. It then focuses on the crucial issues of compliance and recourse and explores the broader political and security issues bearing upon any efforts to repair and further develop the WMD control regime."--BOOK JACKET.
