The first edition of Trust & Verify was published in June 1989 by
the then Verification Technology Information Centre. VERTIC, just three
years old, was headed by Patricia Lewis and was based in Southampton Street,
London. The founding editor of Trust & Verify was John Grounds and
the co-editor was Julie Cator. Richard Guthrie later became its long-serving
editor. The first edition dealt entirely with arms control and disarmament
verification, as that was VERTIC’s original brief. After 1989 VERTIC
broadened its agenda to encompass any international agreement that requires
monitoring and verification, particularly environmental and peace accords.
To mark the 100th edition of Trust & Verify, we present a bumper issue,
with a lead article examining how far verification of arms control and
disarmament agreements has come since issue number one. Trust & Verify
wishes all of its readers a peaceful and prosperous new year.
