Hans Blix Quotes

The U. N. Is much more than the case of Iraq Picture Quote #1
By and large my relations with the US were good Picture Quote #1
I found it peculiar that those who wanted to take military action could - with 100 per cent certainty - know that the weapons existed and turn out to have zero knowledge of where they were Picture Quote #1
Like I said, I’m more worried long term about the environmental issues then the use of arms Picture Quote #1
If you take the biological weapons in the United States we still will have perhaps a single individual who was able to make anthrax, dry it, and spread it through the mail and cause terror Picture Quote #1
What surprises me, what amazes me, is that it seems the military people were expecting to stumble on large quantities of gas, chemical weapons and biological weapons Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
But in the Middle Ages people were convinced there were witches. They looked for them and they certainly found them Picture Quote #1
The inspections started in 1991, right after the Gulf War. One of the conditions for the ceasefire was that Iraq had to do away with all of its weapons of mass destruction - biological, chemical and nuclear weapons and long-range missiles Picture Quote #1
Look at the Palestinians with the huge, huge percentage of unemployed. What does that breed? Anyone who’s unemployed in the world, you feel there’s no meaning and there’s a risk that you drift over to something desperate. Yes, we have to tackle the social problems as well Picture Quote #1
I think that we have to do our job well, investigate thoroughly and then describe very honestly what we see to the Security Council. And some of the things might please people there and other things may not please the people Picture Quote #1
I don’t think that anyone seriously fears that the world can be blown to pieces all together. But what one can fear and rightly so are regional things, like in the Middle East, India, Pakistan, the Korean Peninsula, borders in Africa, etc Picture Quote #1
I can imagine that the Iraqis undertake the destruction out of fear. If they had denied it, if they had said no, that certainly would have played into the hands of those that would like to take armed action immediately. I have no illusions in that regard Picture Quote #1

What surprises me, what amazes me, is that it seems the military people were expecting to stumble on large quantities of gas, chemical weapons and biological weapons Picture Quote #1
The Iraqis are not threatened by the Turks or by the Iranians or by the Saudis and they tell me that these are not weapons of mass destruction, they are weapons of self-destruction Picture Quote #1
If you take the biological weapons in the United States we still will have perhaps a single individual who was able to make anthrax, dry it, and spread it through the mail and cause terror Picture Quote #1
But I would say if the Security Council is only relevant if it agrees with the United States, then we have come a long way in a direction that I do not like very much Picture Quote #1
Disarmament by war and democracy by occupation are difficult prospects Picture Quote #1
Even on television, the wavelengths that you use, they have to be distributed between countries Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
We have not found any smoking guns Picture Quote #1
It was to do with information management. The intention was to dramatise it Picture Quote #1
You never get quite down to the bottom of the barrel, but we are much higher than that at the present time. There is quite a lot left in the barrel that could be explained by them. If they have some weapons, if they have some anthrax, they should deliver that Picture Quote #1
The country is not a democratic state. Therefore we fear that they might carry a recorder in their pocket or there may be bugs in the walls, and you cannot be absolutely sure that you get a straight testimony Picture Quote #1
If public opinion still endorses military action that’s one thing, but if they wait maybe it will not. So it’s not only impatience, but there are several other factors Picture Quote #1
The recent inspection find in the private home of a scientist of a box of some 3,000 pages of documents, much of it relating to the laser enrichment of uranium support a concern that has long existed that documents might be distributed to the homes of private individuals... we cannot help but think that the case might not be isolated and that such placements of documents is deliberate to make discovery difficult and to seek to shield documents by placing them in private homes Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
To me the question of the environment is more ominous than that of peace and war... I’m more worried about global warming than I am of any major military conflict Picture Quote #1
So interviews are a valuable tool, but under certain circumstances they’d be more valuable than others Picture Quote #1
Iraq did not spontaneously opt for disarmament. They did it as part of a ceasefire, so they were forced to do it, otherwise the war might have gone on. So the motivation has been very different Picture Quote #1
