ABSTRACT

Following the end of the Gulf War in 1991, the United Nations’ effort at disarming Iraq came to be defined by a notable Swedish influence through the appointment of Swedish nationals in key positions. This work explores their unique contribution and the impact of their nationality on their efficacy. The article argues that the country’s history of neutrality combined with significant diplomatic clout and technical know-how enabled Swedish inspectors to make substantial contributions based on the factors explored albeit at times limited due to absence of large scale weapons of mass destruction programmes at home. By examining their conduct, it is demonstrated how a small state can play an active and outsi role in an active case of disarmament.

瑞典在伊拉克裁军中的作用,1991-2003年

摘要

1991年海湾战争结束后,联合国解除伊拉克武装的努力被瑞典显着的影响力所定义,即任命了瑞典国民担任关键职务。这项工作探讨了他们的独特贡献以及国籍对其效力的影响。文章认为,瑞典的中立历史,加上重要的外交影响力和技术诀窍,使瑞典视察员能够根据所探索的因素做出重大贡献,尽管有时由于国内缺乏大规模杀伤性武器计划而受到限制。通过检查他们的行为,可以证明一个小国如何在积极的裁军案件中发挥积极和外在的作用。
