| Welcome to the Civil
Society Review of the Report of the Weapons of Mass Destruction
Commission (WMDC). In addition to a comprehensive analysis of the
report, this site will provide background information, context,
and further resources related to the report and the topics it covers.
The mandate of the WMDC is to investigate ways of reducing the
dangers posed by nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological
weapons. The WMDC released its report on June 1, 2006 at United
Nations headquarters in New York City.
Civil society organizations with expertise in non-proliferation
and disarmament released an in-depth analysis in May 2007. Additional
resources provide independent research and analysis on the history
of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and delivery systems,
current developments, and possibilities for controlling and eliminating
weapons of mass destruction and terror.
The WMDC report offers an important opportunity to raise public
awareness about the urgent need to work for the global elimination
of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Civil society organizations
will make every effort to maximize this opportunity.
