1 INTRODUCTION

The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization

(hereinafter referred to as the “Commission”) operates a global verification regime to monitor

compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). It provides timely

data, assessments and other products and services to Signatory States of the Treaty.

An On-Site Inspection (OSI) is the final verification measure to verify States’ compliance

with the CTBT. The evolution of an OSI is dependent upon the implementation of the

Inspection Team Functionality (ITF) concept, with particular questions being posed and

answered through the application of inspection permitted techniques.

To maintain capabilities with respect to paragraph 80, of the Protocol to the Treaty, the
