	Organizational Plan for UNMOVIC
		Given that the central task of UNMOVIC, like that of UNSCOM before it, is to verify that Iraq complies with the obligations set out by the Council, those obligations, too, are relevant for understanding the Commission's responsibilities and the demands that their fulfilment place on the organization.
		The responsibilities of UNMOVIC, in connection with paragraphs 8 and 9 of resolution 687 (1991), are generally referred to, in resolution 1284 (1999), as "disarmament tasks", while the responsibilities under paragraph 10 of resolution 687 (1991) relate to implementing the plan for ongoing monitoring and verification.
		UNMOVIC is required, under paragraph 3 of resolution 1284 (1999), to furnish assistance and cooperation to IAEA in the performance by the latter of its responsibilities under the same paragraph.

		UNMOVIC evaluated and assessed this material as it has became available and, as a first step, produced an internal working document covering about 100 unresolved disarmament issues, fully referenced to the database, including entries which need to be confidential.
		UNMOVIC has not had direct access to the originators of these reports, some of whom are persons claiming to have been directly involved in the design and manufacture of mobile facilities in Iraq.
		UNMOVIC understands the purpose of the Badr-2000 programme and is confident that it has never reached the production stage and that no operational delivery means had been obtained by Iraq.

	UNMOVIC AND IAEA IRAQ INSPECTION REPORTS JAN 2003
		Hans Blix of UNMOVIC noted that the Iraqi report had not accounted for large quantities of illegal weapons and materials that had been tallied in previous UN reports, and further noted that the Iraqi report of December 7, 2002 that was to have produced full disclosure, was unsatisfactory.
		UNMOVIC shares the sense of urgency felt by the Council to use inspection as a path to attain, within a reasonable time, verifiable disarmament of Iraq.
		In response to a recent UNMOVIC request for a number of specific documents, the only new documents Iraq provided was a ledger of 193 pages which Iraq stated included all imports from 1983 to 1990 by the Technical and Scientific Importation Division, the importing authority for the biological weapons programme.

		UNMOVIC declared, “It is possible that viable Mustard filled artillery shells and aerial bombs still remain in Iraq.” UNMOVIC reported that Iraq is not currently capable of producing new mustard because it lacks a dedicated facility.
		UNMOVIC further estimated that the total amount of biological agent—the majority of it suspected to be anthrax—in bombs, warheads, and storage at the time of the 1991 Gulf War as being at least 7,000 litres more than Iraq contended.
		UNMOVIC reported that it was important to obtain a clear understanding of the amount of botulinum toxin produced because that would affect estimates on the quantities of other biological agents, particularly anthrax, that Iraq could have produced.

		UNMOVIC, UNSCOM and the Amorim Panel did valuable work to identify the disarmament issues which were still open at the end of 1998.

		UNMOVIC is in the process of planning for a second field office in Basrah, in the south of Iraq, in March.
		UNMOVIC has, in most areas, more resources and more advanced tools at its disposal than did UNSCOM and, in several respects, UNMOVIC has developed a capacity that goes beyond what was contemplated in its initial planning, e.g., in the number of personnel, number of teams in the field, number of sites visited.
		UNMOVIC is presently finalizing an internal document of some importance, namely, a list of the disarmament issues, which it considers currently unresolved, and of the measures which Iraq could take to resolve them, either by presenting proscribed stocks and items or by providing convincing evidence that such stocks or items no longer exist.

	Disarmament Diplomacy: Preserving UNMOVIC:
		Although UNMOVIC staff, unlike those of UNSCOM, are recruited, contracted and managed according to UN Secretariat procedures and processes, and UNMOVIC's New York offices are housed on the same floor as DDA in the UN Secretariat building, UNMOVIC has maintained a degree of independence that a UN department cannot.
		While UNMOVIC derives its authority to conduct inspections in Iraq from the UN Security Council, the Secretary-General is authorised to conduct investigations of alleged CBW use on this own authority when requested by a member state.
		UNMOVIC was expected to carry on the work of UNSCOM, and in any case, Iraq was not at that time party to the CWC.

		UNMOVIC, for its part, is not presuming that there are proscribed items and activities in Iraq, but nor is it — or I think anyone else after the inspections between 1991 and 1998 — presuming the opposite, that no such items and activities exist in Iraq.
		These were the reasons why UNMOVIC asked for a list of such persons, in accordance with resolution 1441.
		By the end of December, UNMOVIC began using helicopters both for the transport of inspectors and for actual inspection work.

		However, it must be remembered that in accordance with the governing resolutions, a sustained inspection and monitoring system is to remain in place after verified disarmament to give confidence and to strike an alarm, if signs were seen of the revival of any proscribed weapons programmes.

		Not that their efforts should be laughably dismissed—they have warned persuasively, for example, of the risks posed by poorly secured chemical and biological weapons sites and the insurgents who one imagines would love to find a little forgotten but still potent mustard agent.
		The final word on UNMOVIC’s work is contained in a giant 1,000-page compendium, which Ewen Buchanan promises is “bold and honest” with no attempt to “shy away from the mistakes and difficulties encountered” by inspectors.
		Dismantling UNMOVIC just means that we get to reinvent the wheel with future ad hoc inspectorates, something we may regret in the event North Korea agrees to shutter its missile programs as the Clinton Administration had sought.

		Although it is unlikely that UNMOVIC will be allowed to return to Iraq to complete its mandate, the authors consider whether there are other ways in which its expertise and experience might be retained for future use.
		UNMOVIC inherited the mandate and responsibilities of UNSCOM as well as being tasked to establish a system of Reinforced Ongoing Monitoring and Verification (R-OMV).
		UNMOVIC received greater cooperation from Iraq than had UNSCOM and made some progress, notably in destroying 72 Al Samoud 2 missiles that exceeded the permitted 150 km range.

		This fact sheet carefully reviews UNMOVIC’s (United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission) report (the “Cluster Document”) delivered on March 7 before the UN Security Council concerning the Iraqi government and its refusal to carry out full and complete disarmament of its weapons of mass destruction.
		Iraq claims that a 50-ton trailer that it illegally imported for use as a missile launcher was “stolen.” This is the same “stolen” story that Iraq has used in the past for weapons of mass destruction items such as biological growth media.
		UNMOVIC states, "The development of tanks for chemical weapons and biological weapons uses shouldbe consideredone continued projectSpraying devices modified for chemical/biological weapon purposes may still exist in Iraq."

		Still, Baghdad will be far from comfortable at the prospect of individuals who may have damning evidence against the regime being allowed to spill the beans free from the threat of reprisals against themselves or their loved ones, and then defect to the West.

		The exercise in Sarnia was considered a knowledge course which aimed to build on inspectors' understanding of technologies relevant to the UNMOVIC mandate that they may encounter during multidisciplinary inspections in Iraq.

		The options for UNMOVIC's future range from closing down the organization entirely, to sending inspectors back to Iraq with a limited mandate for monitoring and verification, to ending its mandate yet preserving its experiences and capabilities to deal with future cases of non-compliance.

	ParaPundit: UNMOVIC Inspection Regime Will Not Work
		At UNMOVIC, which is split into a number of separate divisions, no inspector will be allowed to receive intelligence information on a privileged basis, and any and all information is liable to be shared.
		The American, British, and Israeli officials who in the past provided information to UNSCOM benefited from the fact that their relationship with the commission was a “loop.” Evidence uncovered by UNSCOM inspectors flowed back to those nations’ intelligence agencies for analysis, and this analysis produced new leads for UNSCOM in return.
		Even if, for example, an Iraqi defector should turn up and tell UNMOVIC to look in a certain building, the agency will need a means of evaluating his reliability before it decides to act.
