The United Nations Security Council unanimously imposes strict, long term controls to prevent Iraq from developing nuclear biological or chemical weapons. Iraq must report on military related scientific and industrial activities and accept intrusive inspections under a plan seen as a trusteeship like postwar oversight. Officials cite past attempts by Saddam Hussein’s regime to pursue weapons as justification for tight restrictions.
