As stated in “The Report of the Iraq Inquiry – Executive Summary”: “805. … -Dr Blix reported to the [UK] Security Council on 7 March that there had been an acceleration of initiatives from Iraq and, while they did not constitute immediate co-operation, they were welcome. UNMOVIC [United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission] would be proposing a work programme for the [UN] Security Council’s approval, based on key tasks for Iraq to address. It would take months to verify sites and items, analyze documents, interview relevant personnel and draw conclusions.”
