WHAT DOES WEAPONS INSPECTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

weapons inspector

United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission

The United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission was created through the adoption of United Nations Security Council resolution 1284 of 17 December 1999 and its mission lasted until June 2007. UNMOVIC was meant to replace the former United Nations Special Commission to carry on with the mandate to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction, and to operate a system of ongoing monitoring and verification to check Iraq's compliance with its obligations not to reacquire the same weapons banned by the Security Council. Unlike its predecessor, the staff of UNMOVIC were employees of the United Nations. In addition to the Office of the Chairman with executive, legal and liaison functions, UNMOVIC comprised four divisions as well as an administrative service. The Commission maintained its headquarters at the United Nations in New York. Prior to its creation, in December 1998, lack of cooperation between UNSCOM and Iraqi government plus Saddam Hussein's failure to provide unfettered access to UN arms inspectors led Washington and London to launch air strikes during Operation Desert Fox.
