Abstract

The majority of nations warmly agree that the cessation of the operation of every chemical weapon production facility, including those of private enterprises and transnational corporations, should be ensured by means of strict verification. This should include: systematic on-site inspections; verification of the accuracy of declarations; sealing by inspectors of the facility to be closed; periodic checking of the preservation of seals up to the moment when the seals are removed; the destruction or the examination of such facilities by the representatives of the national verification organization; and the preparation of reports from the international inspectorate for transmission to the Consultative Committee.
