Iraq Inspections - Lessons Learned

Abstract

United Nations (UN) Resolution 687 established the basis for inspections of Iraq's nuclear, chemical, biological and ballistic weapons program. This study, conducted under DNA's ongoing adversarial analysis program, assesses lessons learned from the UN Special Commission (UNCOM) inspections for the implementation of future and ongoing arms control treaties. Lessons learned are divided into two categories: (1) camouflage, concealment and deception, and other means of obstruction that might undermine the effectiveness of on-site inspections (OSI), and (2) general lessons on the implementation of OSI, including organization, logistics, etc.
