  Unofficial monitoring of compliance with arms control treaties: a survey'
Submitted By:   rbruneau

  Description:   This study aims to gauge the extent of unofficial monitoring of state compliance with multilateral treaties that deal with arms control, disarmament and nonproliferation. Specifically, it attempts to discover the degree to which unofficial monitoring is carried out to assess state party compliance with particular obligations in a given treaty. The report reveals very few examples of such unofficial monitoring. There are numerous research projects that monitor, study and analyze weapons, weapons systems and weapons technology, or state behaviour and other developments with regard to treaties. This is especially evident in the area of weapons of mass destruction. But such efforts rarely seek to relate the information and analysis they produce to precise treaty requirements and none do so systematically for all treaties and treaty parties. Landmine Monitor, which monitors compliance with the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty by states parties and signatories (and even states still outside the treaty altogether), is the only unofficial monitoring endeavour that is systematic and comprehensive. It has demonstrated, for the first time, both the feasibility of unofficial monitoring and its potential for mitigating the inadequacies of official treaty monitoring and verification. Similar projects are emerging for the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and in the sphere of small arms and light weapons (for which there are no multilateral disarmament or arms control treaties).
