On December 19, 2003, Libya announced it would dismantle its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs.

Libya’s WMD disarmament is a critical step towards reintegration into the world community, and a necessary but probably not sufficient prerequisite for lifting U.S. sanctions.
