Date: April 22, 2004 Creator: Squassoni, Sharon Description: On
December 19, 2003, Libya announced it would dismantle its
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile
programs. Since then, U.S., British, and international officials
have inspected and removed or destroyed key components of those
programs, and Libya has provided valuable information,
particularly about foreign suppliers. Libya’s WMD disarmament is
a critical step towards reintegration into the world community,
and a necessary but probably not sufficient prerequisite for
lifting U.S. sanctions. Contributing Partner: UNT Libraries
