Disarmament groups welcome the Blix Commission Report
Michael Spies
The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (WMDC), chaired by Hans Blix, released its final report today at the UN in New York. Blix presented the report, titled Weapons of Terror: Freeing the World of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Arms, to Secretary-General Kofi Annan and General Assembly President Jan Eliasson.
Lawyers’ Committee on Nuclear Policy, Western States Legal Foundation, and Reaching Critical Will, in partnership with the Arms Control Association have formed a project to assess the report of the WMD Commission and analyze its implications, especially for turning around U.S. policy.
A preliminary response to the report is available on the project website, wmdreport.org.

In particular, Blix’s call for the removal of the 480 US owned-and-controlled nuclear weapons was the right thing to do. Too bad he didn’t do it when he was head of the IAEA.
Vote the “Missile Guy” out of the NATO Big Brother house.
