weapons inspectors
Treaty compliance monitors
Weapons inspectors are officials authorized to verify compliance with arms control agreements or international law.
They examine military facilities, documents, and equipment to confirm whether a nation possesses prohibited weapons or is developing them secretly.
The term became prominent during UN inspections in Iraq: Weapons inspectors found no evidence of an active nuclear program.
