Ambassador Richard Butler: keeping Irag's disarmament on track

Article Abstract:

Ambassador Richard Butler is the executive chairman of the UN Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM). The UNSCOM is tasked with eradicating Iraq's biological and chemical weapons programs and its ballistic missile capabilities. Part of the UNSCOM's responsibilities is the monitoring of Iraq's disarmament. The monitoring agreement was agreed to by Iraq and is part of a Security Council legislation called Resolution 715. Butler disputes Iraq's claim that it has complied with the monitoring provisions of the resolution.
