Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 227, [1] pages. Boxes. Abbreviations. Index. The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (WMDC) is established on an initiative by the late Foreign Minister of Sweden, Anna Lindh, acting on a proposal by then United Nations Under-Secretary-General Dhanapala. The Swedish Government invited Hans Blix to set up and chair the Commission. He presented the composition of the Commission to the public on 16 December 2003 and explained what he saw were major tasks for it. The Commission commenced its work against the background of more than a half-century's striving for non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament of weapons of mass destruction. While there has been much success and progress, there have been many difficulties and disappointments in recent years. The technical evolution and the access to knowledge have also reduced some barriers to the acquisition of weapons. The report of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission with the proposals on how to reduce as far as possible the dangers of weapons of mass destruction was presented to the UN Secretary-General and the international community on 1 June 2006. Nuclear, biological and chemical arms are the most inhumane of all weapons. They are rightly called weapons of mass destruction and weapons of terror. Designed to terrify as well as destroy, these weapons can, in the hands of either states or terrorists, cause destruction on a vastly greater scale than any conventional weapons. They have the potential to kill thousands and thousands of people in a single attack, and their effects may persist in the environment and in our bodies, in some cases indefinitely. So long as any state has such weapons -- especially nuclear arms -- others will want them. So long as any such weapons remain in any state's arsenal, there is a risk that they will one day be used, by design or accident. Any such use would be catastrophic. In this report, the independent Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, chaired by Dr. Hans Blix, confronts this global challenge and presents 60 recommendations on what the world community -- national governments and civil society -- can and should do.

Hans Martin Blix (born 28 June 1928) is a Swedish diplomat and politician for the Liberal People's Party. He was Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs (1978-1979) and later became the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. As such, Blix was the first Western representative to inspect the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster in the Soviet Union on site, and led the agency response to them. Blix was also the head of the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission from March 2000 to June 2003. On 17 He is the former president of the World Federation of United Nations Associations. The Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Commission was launched in December 2003 in response to profoundly worrying developments in international security and, in particular, to investigate ways of reducing the dangers from nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological weapons. Chaired by Dr. Hans Blix, the former head of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the WMD Commission comprised 15 eminent members, representing a broad and relevant geographical and political base with a vast reservoir of expert knowledge and political experience, spanning the governmental, academic and non-governmental arenas. The Commissioners served in their personal capacity and Dr. Jennifer Simons contributed to planning and organizing the work of the Commission. The Simons Foundation hosted the third meeting of the WMD Commission in Vancouver, Canada, in November 2004, and co-hosted the WMD Commission Press Conference and Dinner Dialogue, "U.S. Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Goals: Honoring the Balance," in New York on May 9, 2005. The WMD Commission report, Weapons of Terror: Freeing the World of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Arms, was presented to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan by Dr. Hans Blix in New York on June 1, 2006. The report contains 60 concrete proposals on how the world could be freed of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. With additional funding from The Simons Foundation, the report has since been translated into six additional languages. The Simons Foundation also assisted in financing a documentary that has also been produced by the WMD Commission. On April 30, 2009, the WMD Commission assembled for a special, final meeting in Washington, DC, to refocus attention on the comprehensive recommendations in its 2006 Report, particularly those recommendations relating to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. With the release of the WMDC Declaration, the Commission concluded its collective work, but its members will remain active and be ready to join others in a new forceful wave to revive and achieve global disarmament.
