This book describes the problems encountered by UN inspection teams
assigned to find and destroy Iraq's nuclear, chemical, biological,
and missile capabilities following Desert Storm. Kathleen C. Bailey
focuses on the initial inspections-the period in which Iraq was
struggling to camouflage and conceal its weapons and production
equipment as inspectors were trying to define their role in the
process. Working from interviews with these initial inspectors,
Bailey extracts important lessons for future verification efforts.
On-site arms control inspectors in Iraq found information to be
carefully controlled by the government. Pertinent documentation was
destroyed, only selected people were allowed to interact with
inspectors, and officials refused to make full, complete
declarations. Buildings were tom down, equipment was moved, and
un-exploded ordnance was placed in the way. These and other
techniques helped Iraq to hide its past activities and to preserve
some of its weapons capabilities. In the future, arms control
inspectors will need to develop strategies for dealing more
effectively with recalcitrant inspectees and for creating the best
possible procedures and processes. Bailey concludes with concrete
suggestions for overcoming some of these obstacles with more
effective inspection practices.
