The end ofthe Cold War opened unprecedented opportunities for
reductions in weapons of mass destruction. With these opportunities
came new challenges, both scientific and political. Traditionally
approached by different groups, the scientific, technical and
political challenges are inextricably intertwined. Agreements to
dismantle and destroy chemical, nuclear and conventional weapons,
after having been negotiated via diplomatic channels, require the
expertise of scientists associated with their development to
determine the safest and most environmentally sound methods of
destruction. It is in this context that representatives from
sixteen countries and five international organizations were
convened jointly by NATO, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the
Federal Republic of Germany and the State Government of North Rhine
Westphalia 19-21 May, 1996 in a meeting near Bonn to take stock of
worldwide efforts to destroy and dismantle chemical, nuclear and
conventional weapons remaining after the end ofthe Cold War. NATO
support was provided under the auspices of the NATO Science
Committee's Panel on Disarmament Technologies. The conference
brought together the major actors involved in the dismantlement and
destruction of chemical, nuclear and conventional weapons,
highlighted the substantial accomplishments achieved in this area
and pinpointed the remaining technical obstacles still to be
overcome. It also underlined the critical importance of
transparency, data exchange and verification as indispensable
preconditions for disarmament and cooperative security.
