The United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) was established in 1991 following the Gulf War to oversee the disarmament of Iraq, particularly concerning its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program, including chemical, biological, and missile capabilities. The commission was created in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 687, which mandated Iraq to eliminate its WMD and prohibited it from developing such weapons in the future.
