Bustani,Jose

From 911Encyclopedia:

In April 2002, the United States fulfilled their so called "chemical convention coup" against brazilian ambassador Jose Bustani. The United States had led the campaign against Jose Bustani of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), accusing him of mismanagement and taking politically motivated initiatives against the wishes of most members. At a special sunday meeting on April 21st, 2002, in The Hague, voted by 48-6, with 43 abstentions, Bustani was removed from office. Bustani's supporters said, but Washington denied, that the real motive was to stop Bustani from persuading Iraq to join the chemical weapons convention, which could weaken the case for a U.S. attack to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "What the Americans are doing," Bustani says, "is a coup d'etat. They are using brute force to amend the convention and unseat the director-general."

The Guardian claimed in another article, that states like Micronesia had been bribed to fail to appear at the important voting meeting for or against Bustani. In another coup in the same week, Dr. Robert Watson, chief of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was removed. Watson had been pressing member nations to take the threat of global warming seriously, to the annoyance of the oil company ExxonMobil. Watson was replaced by Indian scientist Rajendra Pachauri, who fought in 2001 against a bid by the Indian government to investigate "a gigantic financial boondoggle" at the controversial Dabhol Power Plant, http://Rediff.com of India.

In yet another planned plot in the same week, Wolfowitz,Paul renewed to ask the CIA to look into former Iraq-UN-inspector Hans Blix's (->) record when he was head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) between 1981 and 1997.
