If no one were watching, Iraq could do this. But just as with the nuclear
weapons programme, they'd have to start from scratch, having been deprived of
all equipment, facilities and research. They'd have to procure the complicated
tools and technology required through front companies. This would be detected.
The manufacture of chemical weapons emits vented gases that would have been
detected by now if they existed. We've been watching, via satellite and other
means, and have seen none of this. If Iraq was producing weapons today, we'd
have definitive proof, plain and simple."

[SELECTED TEXT]

 

 

III. CONCLUSIONS

46. The accumulated effect of the work that has been accomplished over six
years since the ceasefire went into effect, between Iraq and the Coalition, is
such that not much is unknown about Iraq's retained proscribed weapons
capabilities.

The Executive Chairman of United Nations Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC), Dr
Hans Blix has said that "Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far.
Access has been provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect. Arrangements
and services for our plane and our helicopters have been good. The environment
has been workable."
