A Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Centre was established at NATO HQ on 22 May. This development in NATO's efforts to multiply consultations on disarmament and non-proliferation issues is part of the Initiative on Weapons of Mass Destruction approved at the Washington Summit in April 1999.
The Centre will aim to improve co-ordination of WMD-related activities, as well as strengthen consultations on non-proliferation, arms control, and disarmament issues. In addition, it will support defence efforts to improve the preparedness of the Alliance to respond to the risks of WMD and their means of delivery.
It will therefore support the objectives outlined in the WMD Initiative: to ensure a more vigorous, structured debate at NATO leading to strengthened common understanding among Allies on WMD issues and how to respond to them; improve the quality and quantity of intelligence and information-sharing among Allies on proliferation issues; enhance existing Allied programmes which increase military readiness to operate in a WMD environment and to counter WMD threats; to strengthen the process of information exchange about Allies' national programmes of bilateral WMD destruction and assistance; enhance the possibilities for Allies to assist one another in the protection of their civil populations against WMD efforts.
