Established in 1986 as an independent, nonprofit organization of
scientists VERTIC provides reliable information on verification, a
process which establishes whether all parties are complying with
their obligations under an agreement. These agreements may be
international agreements on arms control or the environment, or
agreements between different communities within a state. For many
TV and radio journalists, VERTIC is the first port of call: It is
frequently consulted for its knowledge of international and
national agreements and for its technical expertise.
The first VERTIC yearbook, on verification-related issues in the
spheres of arms control and the environment, was published in 1991.
In 1993, its subject matter was expanded to include peacekeeping.
The new 1997 volume is divided into two parts. The first half of
the book contains twelve original essays analyzing the arms
control, peacekeeping, and environmental issues in 1996. The second
half contains a greatly expanded collection of twenty-one primary
documents that scholars and policy practitioners will find
indispensable-- from the Cairo Declaration to the Declaration of
the Moscow Nuclear Safety Summit to the complete text of the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the attendant declarations.
