The Watched and the Unwatched:
Inspection in the Non-Proliferation Treaty

'Inspection' is a security action, which also goes under several guises as
'verification', 'accounting', 'controls' or 'safeguards'. It is a rather precise
profession and, perhaps because of that, has become the focus of the frustrations
of disarmament negotiators in their search for solutions to problems much less
precisely defined.
When the Baruch plan was tabled in the United Nations in 1946, the main difficulty
was to find an acceptable formula whereby existing American nuclear installations
could either be phased out or converted to peaceful purposes while those which were
being built elsewhere, principally in the USSR, were assured to have peaceful intent.
Therefore, it was envisioned from the start that inspection, safeguards or controls
would be applied to guarantee that nuclear armaments were not developed by
countries not yet possessing them.
After the failure of the Baruch plan and as nuclear weapon stockpiles accumulated
and became dispersed, the 'Nth country problem' evolved.
