Description

The research project on which this book is based was undertaken in order to evaluate the verification procedures and practices in existing arms limitation and disarmament agreements. It is argued that if the international community is to devise new verification arrangements for the future it must do so on the basis of past experience. This book contains an analysis of agreements and instruments concluded over a period of sixty years. Agreements and treaties which are analysed include the Geneva Protocol on Chemical and Biological methods of Warfare (1925); the Antarctic Treaty (1959); the Nuclear Test Limitation Treaties of 1963, 1974, 1976 and 1990; the Outer Space and Moon Treaties of 1967 and 1979; the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (1968); the Sea-Bed Treaty (1971); the Convention on Biological Weapons of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems (1971); SALT 1 and SALT II (1972 and 1979), the Conventional Weapon Convention of 1981 and the INF Treaty (1987).
