In the past, former weapons inspector Jonathan Tucker said Sunday, a
sensitive issue has been the identity of the suppliers of dual-use
technologies, which can be employed for either commercial or military

technology," he said. The five permanent Security Council members,
however, are presumed to already have access to such information.
