On 30 March 1984, the United Nations Security Council issued a statement condemning the use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War. The same day the US government announced it was instituting a special licensing requirement for exports to Iran and Iraq of particular chemicals that could be used in the manufacture of chemical weapons.

By the early 1950s the U.S. government had established its own germ warfare laboratory at an army base located at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Over time, the scientists identified approximately 50 different viruses and rickettsiae that were good candidates for germ warfare, a number that was nearly three times the number of suitable bacteria. Viruses were considered to be particularly ideal agents since they were basically unaffected by antibiotics and they could be selected to primarily debilitate, rather than kill, the victim. Incapacitation ties up more resources of the enemy and is more humane. President Eisenhower was briefed at a National Security Council meeting on February 18, 1960, to the effect that controlled incapacitation promised to open up a new dimension of warfare. ...

On 3 April 1991, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 687 (and a number of subsequent resolutions) on Iraq, which placed an additional and new demand on the IAEA resources and subsumed all other safeguards activities in that country. For the first time a Member State with declared nuclear facilities (which had been regularly inspected by the IAEA under a Safeguards Agreement) had clandestinely established additional nuclear facilities and had begun to produce nuclear material in violation of the Agreement. 

The United Nations Security Council Resolution 687, the so-called cease-fire resolution, inter alia, mandated the destruction of all weapons of mass destruction— chemical, biological, ballistic and nuclear—existing in Iraq. The IAEA was given sole responsibility under this resolution to destroy, remove or render harmless not only nuclear weapons but also any existing capability to acquire them, including prohibited precursor materials such as enriched uranium, plutonium and all facilities, equipment and materials used for their production.

Italian forces used sulphur mustard against Ethiopian forces in 1936 and it was used by Japanese forces against Chinese troops during World War II (Robinson, 1971). In the Iran-Iraq war, allegations, which proved well founded, of the use of sulphur mustard by Iraq were made (United Nations Security Council, 1984,1986,1987). In 1986, more than 30 Iranian casualties whose injuries were compatible with exposure to mustard gas were evacuated to London for treatment. The author was thus able to gather first-hand experience of treating mustard gas casualties. 

The Board request the OCDM director, who has the responsibility of protecting the public in case of an enemy attack, to ask the President and the National Security Council to institute steps to declassify sufficient information relative to BW and CW to permit education of and discussion among the citizenry of the very real threat from an enemy attack with BW and CW agents (April 5,1959).

In 1986, National Security Decision Directive 207 was released, which highlighted the need for a coordinated, centrally managed approach to combat terrorism. It also reaffirmed federal agencies roles and responsibilities under the auspices of the National Security Council. The Department of State was responsible for coordinating the national response to international terrorism while the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through the Department of Justice was responsible for domestic terrorism."...

On October 20,2006, the ninth World Congress of the World Federation of Nuclear Medicine and Biology was held in Seoul, Korea. On October 8,2006, North Korea had carried out a nuclear explosion in an underground test The United Nations Security Council denounced the Korean test China spoke for the first time of the need for appropriate punitive action. The contrast between the high degree of development over the past half century in South Korea compared to the mass starvation in North Korea illustrates the trade-off between the peaceful andmilitaiy uses of atomic energy, emphasized in the speech by President Eisenhower in 1953.
