Glushcov A. Chairman, Foundation in support of residents near CW stockpiles
ASSISTANCE OF RESIDENTS IN CW STOCKPILE REGIONS
Abstract
Our public foundation had been established before the question of CW stockpile destruction raised. The aim of our activity is assistance to residents in CW stockpile regions. Special attention is given to invalids, children and old people. The foundation functionates mostly due to great concern and enthusiasm of its president – the deputy of the Udmurt Republic State Council. He tries to do his best so that the foundation activity is useful to the Kizner district population.
It’s a pity but the local authorities does not recognize the public foundation as a helpful assistant. Nevertheless, our organization promotes an idea of a referendum on prohibition of CW destruction facility building. Soon we shell inform Kizner district population about it. Let people decide themselves how they should live in future. Other public organizations all over the Udmurt Republic support our proposal.

POSITION OF THE UNION ON PROBLEMS WITH THE DESTRUCTION
OF THE CW STOCKPILES IN KIZNER DISTRICT ON THE BASIS
OF THE EXPERIENCE OF «GREEN MOVEMENT OF RUSSIA»
Abstract
The Union for chemical safety works at seven areas of CW stockpiles over Russia. We are cautious enough in our attitude to the problem being considered, we try to analyze the public opinion. Our position over the problem of CW stockpiles destruction has changed lately. We were full of unrealized faith, but now there is nothing but distrust and negative respect when discussing the issue of the CW destruction facility. Why?
The main reason is the inconsequent activity of both federal and republic governments. It means disagreement of plans and the reality, of promises and deeds. It is too hard to trust in huge and fancy plans on the district infrastructure construction.
There is no information about a creditable CW destruction technology.
All mentioned-above made us propose the following:
There must be severe governmental control and international supervising over the problem solution, especially at the stage of investments.
The possibility of the CW stockpiles export from Udmurt Republic should be considered as well.
Our republic must not be turned to a dead area. However, nobody insures us that the hazardous substances will not be brought here from all parts of Russia.
The duty of our Union is to force the Russian Government to solve the problems of CW destruction, to involve activists of Green movement and experts.

HEALTH PROBLEMS OF VETERANS AND FORMER WORKERS
AT THE CW STOCKPILE
Abstract
The agreement on the destruction of chemical weapons (CW) is expressed, providing that the measures for preserving health of the population will be fulfilled and the preliminary social security legislative draft for the people living in the CW storage site and in the zone of construction of CW destruction plant will be created.
It has been offered to conduct a referendum on the problem of CW disarmament in order to clarify the public opinion about it; to acquaint the population of Kizner district and the population of the Republic of Udmurtia with the project of the complex program of step-by-step CW destruction in the Russian Federation, adopted by the government in 1992.
The doubt is expressed that the government will fulfill its obligations to give social benefits to the population and to build up the social infrastructure in case if the inhabitants of Kizner approve the construction of the CW plant.
Douglas Hindman. Co-Chairman, Kentucky Chemical Demilitarization Citizen’
Advisory Commission, USA
CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMISSIONS AS A MODEL FOR PUBLIC
INVOLVEMENT IN CHEMICAL WEAPONS DESTRUCTION
I live in Richmond, Kentucky which, like Kizner, has chemical weapons. The storage site is 2.4 kilometers from our nearest school, eight kilometers from the center of Richmond, and 10 kilometers from my home. It contains 577 metric tons of chemical agent (mostly the nerve agents
GB and VX) stored in over 70,000 rockets and 30,000 artillery projectiles. The rockets are especially troublesome. They were not well designed and, occasionally, they leak. They have many parts making them difficult to destroy. They are also slowly deteriorating and, someday, will become unstable.
When citizens of my area first learned about the chemical weapons in 1984, we were very concerned. The Army proposed to incinerate the weapons but we knew that other kinds of incinerators had not worked well. The citizens urged other ways of destroying the weapons but the Army did not seem to take us seriously. Citizens also distrusted the Army because there had been several accidents at our local Army depot (none involving chemical weapons fortunately).
For years, citizens and the Army argued with no agreement and no progress. The Army would come to town to present plans at large formal public meetings at which citizens would argue with them. Then the Army would leave, only to return next year with the same plans. Meanwhile, simply having chemical weapons nearby posed risks that increased as the weapons deteriorated.
Four years ago we formed a Kentucky Citizen's Advisory Commission or "CAC" which has reduced distrust and enabled people to reach agreements. We are making progress. I am co-chair of the Kentucky CAC and am here to tell you what we did.
Our CAC defined our goal as fostering communication between all the major groups involved; including citizens, state, and national government. Thus we sought representatives from all groups. We especially sought representatives reflecting all the major groups in our community. This was difficult because we did not agree with some groups. However we thought it was important to bring all viewpoints together so we could seek agreements. We have five citizen members and two state members. We also selected CAC leaders who would be able to concentrate on keeping us going. Its been difficult for me, as one of those leaders, to concentrate on the group, not just my own views on what to do about the weapons. However, I know that I need to help keep the CAC focused on their task.
In order to form our CAC, local citizens persuaded our national government to pass a law creating CACs. The law directs state governors to appoint CAC members and provides enough money for us to have a small office, a part-time secretary, and pay mailing expenses to tell the community what we are doing. The law also means we are recognized by the state and national government. Two of our members are state government representatives and an Army epresentative meets with us regularly.
Our early meetings were devoted to developing "ground rules". I will tell you our ground rules but you will need to develop your own. The rules you develop are less important than everyone understanding and agreeing to them. Clear ground rules will help when you take on more difficult issues about the weapons themselves. Here are our ground rules.
We agreed that we all wanted to destroy the weapons as quickly and safely as possible. We agreed on our ultimate goal, even though we might disagree on how to reach it.
We agreed that we would try to find agreement and seek compromise. We would talk openly with each other, listen to all views, and try to avoid personal attacks.
We agreed to operate by consensus. We wanted to seek positions that everyone could live with, even if they were not totally what we would prefer.
We agreed to keep our groups informed about what the CAC was doing. We agreed that none of us would try to speak for the whole CAC but we would each seek ideas from our groups and tell them about agreements the CAC had reached.
We agreed to meet regularly (once a month). We agreed that all our meetings would be open to the public and would include time for public comment.
After agreeing on our ground rules, we decided to seek the views of citizens in our area. We held well publicized meetings in all the towns in the area asking people their views. Then we wrote a report describing what we had done and what people had told us. Our report was one of many factors which, finally, led the U. S. Congress to order a new program (the Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment, or ACWA, program) to study alternative ways of destroying the assembled chemical weapons in our area.
The ACWA program has set up a group, the Dialogue, which functions as a national CAC. Dialogue members represent citizen, state, national, and other groups concerned about destroying chemical weapons. Representatives from our CAC participate in the Dialogue and report back to citizens in our area so we can all participate in the decisions.
Meanwhile our CAC continues to hold public meetings every month. We invite people who attend our meetings to give us their addresses and send them notices of future meetings. At the meetings, CAC members report on our activities and look for ways to help people share ideas. Slowly others have come to trust us.
As a result, we now have CAC representatives on other committees. CAC representatives now participate on committees looking at ways to protect citizens in case of a chemical accident and looking at ways to reduce the risks of the weapons in storage. It was difficult for the experts on these committees to accept citizen participation. However they are discovering that the citizen representatives bring new viewpoints and ideas. Meanwhile our citizen representatives tell us about the experts' problems. As a result, we are working with citizens and our state government to change laws to make the experts' jobs easier.
In summary. Our CAC has become a way for everyone (citizen, state, and national groups) to participate in decisions about what to do with our chemical weapons. When we began, trust was low. Various groups of citizens and the Army did not talk to each other regularly. When we did come together, it was in large, formal public meetings where everyone presented strong positions and argued. It was not a good way to build trust and resolve disagreements.
When we began, we sought a small group that would meet regularly. We were careful to include representatives from all the major groups involved - even those we disagreed with. We sought leaders who would help us stay on task, We established clear ground rules covering our goals and ways of working together before we began talking about our different views on destroying chemical weapons.
We still have not totally agreed on how to destroy the weapons. However we are making progress. Meanwhile, we are all in agreement. We are building trust in each other. We hope we will all, ultimately, be able to agree on a solution. Then, we can all work to implement it.
Over the years we have realized that old models don't work. Formerly the U S Army would make a decision, announce it to the public, then defend it. This "Decide. Announce. Defend." model did not work well. The Army would ask for citizen input but they did not really want it. They had already decided and citizens were not part of the decision. When citizens gave input or objected, the Army would defend the decision they had already made. It was costly, time consuming and painful for everyone.
Under our new model, citizens are involved in actually making the decisions. Although that would seem to slow decision making it, actually, speeds up decision making. All viewpoints can be considered in making the decision which produces better decisions and ones that everyone understands and can live with. In his report to the US Congress, Mr. Mike Parker, manager of the military's ACWA program, put it this way.
"It has been my belief, now validated by experience that establishing and promoting a cooperative working relationship and understanding between a broad spectrum of stakeholders [translate as concerned or involved groups] can and will yield positive results. Rather than giving up authority, I have found that involving the public in the decision making process is a powerful tool for increasing the authority and legitimacy of the ultimate decisions. . .
The consensus process, rather than yielding to the lowest common denominator of the stakeholders actually has allowed us to focus on technical viability of alternatives as a priority."
I know that our methods may not work for you. I urge you to involve everyone in working toward solutions. I urge you to continue talking to each other. I urge you to look for ways to agree, even if it is on less important issues, so you can find ways to work together on more difficult issues. I wish you the very best in your efforts.

ABOUT THE CONVENTION ON THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS
Abstract
On the basis of the analysis of the statements of the Convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons (CW), signed by Russia on the 13-th of January, 1993, the conclusion has been made, that the Convention does not fully satisfy the interests of the participating countries; for instance, Russia can not agree with the statements on the payment for control over the facilities of CW storage and destruction; the formulation of the definition of the specialized equipment to be used for destruction and for control over the process of destruction is not satisfying either.
The organizational principles of the fulfillment of the Convention have been defined as follows: preparation and adoption of the legislative base, destruction of CW, destruction or conversion of the former plants of the CW production, realization of the stated in the Convention mode of production and usage of various chemicals; preparation and collection of information; preparation of facilities for international inspection, assessment of danger of the sites of previous CW destruction, international cooperation in the sphere of fulfillment of the Convention.
A number of measures on the interaction with the Organization on the prohibition of chemical weapons has been defined. Certain statements of the Convention, dealing with CW destruction and control over the process of CW destruction have thoroughly been considered. It is marked, that in Russia the law “On chemical weapons destruction” has entered into force, and the Government of the Russian Federation considers the project of the law “On social security of the citizens, occupied in the works with chemical weapons”. Both of the laws guarantee the right of citizens to safety, protection of the environment, medical help, including diagnostic examination, social benefits, giving the finances from the federal budget for improvement of the conditions of daily life of citizens.
The difficulties connected with the economic situation in the country are considered; the readiness of a number of countries to give financial help to Russia for fulfillment of the tasks of the Convention is marked. A number of organizational matters, connected with the measures for realization of the Convention, is discussed.
The conclusion has been made, that it is necessary to perform the decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation on the protection measures, the environmental monitoring and monitoring of the health of the population, on giving the information to the citizens and juridical persons about the works, connected with storage, destruction of CW and etc.

PUBLIC HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF THE KIZNER DISTRICT CITIZENS
Abstract
Izhevsk State Medical Academy has been studying public health In the Kizner district for the last 5 years.
Demographic analysis has shown the decrease of population increment. That is the feature of the demographic senility. The number of deaths due to accidents and cancer exceeds average republic level.
According to official data the morbidity in Kizner district is lower than in the Republic in general. But this data does not present the real state, this is specified by the lag of medical personnel, wrong documentary registration and the absence of the appropriate control. Oncological morbidity exceeds average republic level. The lungs cancer is the most frequent. The derangement rate is constantly increasing; the suicide cases occur very often.
Medical examination of 332 girls and 1049 women has shown the delay in sexual growth of the girls and the women immune system weakness.
More than half of the children lag in physical development. Only each forth child reacts adequately.
The results of the medical examination has detected the necessity to take measures in order to improve the public health. Special control should be given to children. Izhevsk State Medical Academy has developed a recreation program for teenagers of the Kizner district.
However specific changes due to organophosphorous agents impact are not detected.
