In this regard, the council made several demands to the Government of Iraq, demanding that it:
- (a) provide "full, final and complete disclosure" of all aspects of its programmes to develop weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a range of more than 150 kilometres (93 mi), including their components, locations, production facilities and all other nuclear programmes;
- (b) allow the IAEA and Special Commission unrestricted access to areas they wish to inspect, including to those they were denied access;
- (c) cease attempts to conceal, remove or destroy its nuclear, chemical or biological weapons or ballistic missile programmes;
- (d) allow the Special Commission and IAEA to conduct surveillance and inspection flights across the country, also for the purposes of aerial surveying;
- (e) halt nuclear activities of any kind, excluding those for agricultural, industrial or medical purposes;
- (f) guarantee the safety and immunity of all Special Commission and IAEA representatives, providing transport for them when necessary;
- (g) respond to all questions or requests from the IAEA and Special Commission.
Resolution 707 stated that Iraq must comply with the above provisions without delay, and with those in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty with which it was currently violating.[2]
