Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

The Deputy Director for Multilateral Affairs Pulaente Kinosi informed PolOff on February 14 that the Ministry is preparing a recommendation for the Office of the President suggesting which agencies should take the lead in establishing the necessary institutions and legislation. Deputy Director Kinosi promised to notify Mission of the agencies tasked with implementation for further follow up once they have been appointed but could not say when that would occur. Mission recognized the strain placed upon small countries such as Botswana by the various reporting and implementation requirements of international agreements but emphasized the need to respond to global security threats by living up to its CWC commitments.
