Countering WMD Threats in Iraq

ISN/CTR administers WMD threat reduction activities for Iraq in partnership with government, security, academic, public and veterinary health, and industrial communities. ISN/CTR’s Iraq program secures chemical, biological, radiological (CBR), and explosive materials, precursors, agents, dual-use equipment, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure to prevent their misuse by terrorists and other nefarious actors in Iraq. This includes:

  • Partnering closely with Iraqi Security forces, including through training and targeted equipment support, to thwart the re-emergence of ISIS and prevent crude WMD development
  • Build and strengthen relationships between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Government of Iraq (GOI), particularly in the security, higher education, and public health sectors to prevent WMD development
  • Build civil sector capacity to identify and disrupt proliferation pathways; prevent the proliferation of dual-use CBR precursors and materials; and ensure safe handling, storage, transport, and destruction of such materials
  • Support GOI and KRG institutionalization of policies, regulations, and procedures that ensure programmatic efforts are widely implemented and organically sustained – including expanding footprint within the KRG
