Papers and studies provided to the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission The Commission has tasked a number of individual researchers, academic institutions and “think tanks” to produce papers and studies on issues related to the Commission’s mandate. These may vary in depth and scope, ranging from comprehensive studies to brief papers providing just a short description of the situation and some proposal/s on how to reduce the dangers from WMD. They will serve as food for thought and provide ideas for the ongoing discussion within the Commission. The papers and studies will be published at the Commission’s website as pdf-files, but some will also be available in print.   The fact that they have been commissioned by the WMDC and that they will be published at the Commission’s website does not necessarily indicate that the Commission submits to the findings of the studies and papers.
