The Security Council is discussing a six-month report from Rolf Ekeus, head of the UN Special Commission in charge of Iraqi disarmament, as part of a debate on how to characterize Baghdad's progress in establishing a long-term arms monitoring program and how to account for its past weapons capabilities.
His report said Iraq was cooperating on installing the monitoring program but also gave details of alleged attempts to conceal information, particularly in the area of biological weapons capability.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
