  1. ix, 43 p.; 28 cm.
Summary
  1. "Until recently, the threat of biological weapons (BW) has received little international attention compared with other weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Concern about nuclear weapons (NW), and more recently about chemical weapons (CW) has dominated efforts in non-proliferation research and policy-making. Arguably, the great moral abhorrence attached to BW has tended to narrow what public discussion has occurred on this sensitive topic. Today, the threat of BW is real and yet there is no means of knowing whether a country is in breach of the international ban on these horrific weapons. This paper is premised on a determination to give the problem of BW proliferation the attention it deserves. A mere description of the threat of BW will not suffice. This work sets out to investigate an important means by which the threat to global security posed by BW could be substantially reduced: the conclusion of a workable verification Protocol to strengthen the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC)"--ACDIS website.
