On February 23-24, 2003, the UNMOVIC’s (UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission’s) College of Commissioners convened to prepare a report for the UN Security Council. “We concluded: ‘It is only by the middle of January [2003] and thereafter that Iraq has taken a number of steps which have the potential of resulting either in the presentation for the destruction of stocks or items that are proscribed or the presentation of relevant evidence solving long-standing unresolved disarmament issues.’ “
