How UNSCOM found and destroyed Iraq's biological weapons
2021-10-28
Forwarded from a former colleague:

Editor’s note: Kings College London and the UN’s Office for Disarmament Affairs hosted a webinar in April to mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of the UN Special Commission (UNSCOM), which oversaw destruction of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction after the Persian Gulf War. What follows is an edited transcript of that event. The July issue of the Bulletin’s bimonthly magazine features an array of essays and recollections from officials and inspectors involved in the disarmament of Iraq. It can be found here.

#5  /\ Been a few years ago, but I remember seeing the imagery of the suspicious convoys that led to that analysis. The usual Russian denials quickly followed.

#4  The Russions rushed in to haul off WMD's they provided Iraq. Their oil companies moved a bunch of it out of Iraq to Syria.

#3  “Chemical Ali” was a bit of a clue, too.

#2  Yep Sonny, that's what we were told and in some sectors, continue to be told. I'm sure UNSCOM didn't get all of it, but it was a noble effort which produced positive results. That is not a frequent occurrence at the United Nations.
