Adherence to and Compliance with Arms Control, Nonproliferation and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments- August 2005 edition

This report reflects the importance the Administration and the U.S. Congress place upon compliance with arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements and commitments. Such agreements and commitments only serve the national security interests of the United States if they are fully complied with. Other states' violations of such obligations can present grave threats to our security. For this reason, the United States places a very high priority upon verifying compliance with, and detecting violations of, such agreements and commitments - as well as upon ensuring that violators promptly return to compliance and that other would-be violators are deterred from breaking their own promises.
