Preparing for the Next WMD Elimination Mission: Lessons Learned from Past Experiences
Abstract
Objective: In recent decades, there have been a number of opportunities for the United States
to participate in WMD elimination. Yet the United States and its partners
constantly reinvent the wheel instead of integrating lessons from past efforts. This
project’s research will provide a comprehensive analysis of key strategic,
diplomatic, legal, interagency, and intra-governmental lessons from WMD
elimination efforts. Furthermore, it will help the United States and others prepare
for and improve future elimination missions as well as aiding those trying to
dissuade countries from developing WMD. Finally, this research will provide
elimination practitioners with a better understanding of their role in future
disarmament efforts.
