IAEA to implement 'suspect site' inspection powers

Article Abstract:

The 35-member board of the International Atomic Energy Agency met in Feb 1992 to update the agency's capability in the detection of secret nuclear weapon projects such as those implemented by Iraq. The members adopted measures to give the body additional authority in the inspection of 'suspect sites' at undeclared facilities. Furthermore, the body would require member countries to give out designs of nuclear facilities being planned. Meanwhile, a proposal to create a registry or monitoring authority for the transfer of nuclear commodities from one country to another was deferred because of foreseen operational difficulties.

Iraq and United Nations face off over missile equipment

Article Abstract:

A UN resolution calling for the dismantling and destruction by Iraq of its nuclear weapon production machinery by Feb 28, 1992 was ignored by the latter. The resolution covered all nuclear, biological and chemical weapons although it did not specifically include ballistic missiles. Iraq claimed that it had abided by the resolution and argued that the nuclear capability it had in its possession ought not be destroyed but diverted and used for peaceful purposes.
