In the summer of 1997 some twelve lecturers and sixty students met
for ten days in Budapest Hungary in a NATO Advanced Studies
Institute (ASI) to consider "New Scientific and Technical Aspects
of Verification of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention." In
many ways the meeting was ahead of its time. The Ad Hoc Group was
only then about to move to the discussion of a rolling text of the
Protocol to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC). It
had been mandated to negotiate the Protocol by the Special
Conference which had considered the work of the VEREX process that
had taken place following the 1991 Third Review Conference of the
Convention. Now, in late 1999, after much further negotiation of
the text of the Protocol we are moving towards the endgame of the
negotiations. Nevertheless, the scientific and technical issues
discussed in the ASI in Hungary continue to be of direct relevance
to the verification of the Convention and will continue to be
relevant as the eventual Protocol moves from agreement through a
Preparatory Commission stage and into full implementation over the
next several years. The papers in this volume are much as they were
presented in Budapest both in order of presentation and in content.
They were designed by the ASI co-directors, Professor Graham
Pearson and Ambassador Tibor Toth (Chairman of the Ad Hoc Group) to
provide an integrated overview and in-depth analysis of the issues
at stake.
