The World Congress Chemical and Biological Weapons Office was created for this very purpose. To eliminate the need for nations to have to become involved in chemical and biological weapons inspections. When I created the resolution I thought that it would have been roleplayed along the lines of the following scenario:
1. A nation is accused of possessing chemical/biological weapons
2. The issue is taken to the World Congress (via the General Assembly or the Security Council) as a formal complaint
3. The World Congress rules on the issue via a resolution to trigger an inspection through the World Congress Chemical and Biological Weapons Office
4. Inspectors (without having to mention which nation they come from since it shouldn't be important as it was created to prevent nations from citing bias) are sent to conduct the inspection and come to a conclusion (as established by the players involved).
5. Further action is taken as the behest/judgement of the Security Council should the inspection conclude that the nation indeed possesses chemical/biological weapons.
I don't think it's right that the accuser(s) should be involved in the investigation by contributing physical manpower because it will always lead to people saying that it's biased. That's why I supported Farsun's amendments to WCSC voting which prevented the mover of a resolution from casting a deciding vote.
On the whole issue of the peacekeepers, I really don't see a problem with it. The WC doesn't have a private army, nor should it have one. In this instance, it is justified for nations to contribute to physical manpower, even the accusing nation. As mentioned somewhere else (can't really remember), the WHSF (Whale Island Security Force) is a simple security apparatus mainly formed to work for the protection of WC infrastructure on whale island and to impose some semblance of order. I have always viewed them similar to the Vatican Police.
