The writer reviews the experience of the UN Special Commission (UNSCOM) with remote video monitoring of high-risk biological facilities in Iraq. He notes that under the ongoing monitoring and verification program mandated by Security Council Resolution 715, UNSCOM has installed over a hundred remote-controlled video cameras at Iraqi “dual-capable” facilities—facilities with legitimate commercial applications that could be misused to produce nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons and long-range ballistic missiles. He discusses the strengths and weaknesses of this approach and examines its relevance to a negotiated regime to strengthen compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention and concludes with a consideration of trade-offs in applying remote monitoring. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
