Taking note of the report of the Director General to the General Conference of the Agency on the implementation of Security Council resolutions relating to Iraq,GC(46)/13. of his report to the Security Council of 10 April 2002,See S/2002/367. and of resolution GC(46)/RES/15 of 20 September 2002 of the General Conference,See International Atomic Energy Agency, Resolutions and Other Decisions of the General Conference, Forty-sixth Regular Session, 16-20 September 2002 (GC(46)/RES/DEC/(2002)). noting with increasing concern that three and a half years have passed since the Agency has been able to implement its mandate in Iraq, and that the longer the suspension of Security Council resolution-related inspections in Iraq lasts, the more difficult it will be to re-establish a level of knowledge of the status of Iraq's nuclear-related assets comparable to that achieved at the end of 1998, and also noting the announced decision of the Government of Iraq to let the weapons inspectors return to Iraq without conditions,
注意到总干事就安全理事会有关伊拉克的各项决议执行情况给原子能机构大会的报告、GC(46)/13。 总干事2002年4月10日给安全理事会的报告见S/2002/367。 及原子能机构大会2002年9月20日GC(46)/RES/15号决议，见国际原子能机构，《大会决议和其他决定，第四十六届常会，2002年9月16日至20日》(GC(46)/RES/DEC/(2002))。 并日益关切地注意到离原子能机构前此能够在伊拉克执行其任务的期间已有三年半之久，暂停进行安全理事会决议所涉的视察伊拉克的时间越长，就越难重新建立起能与1998年年底已掌握到的程度相当的关于伊拉克核相关资产现状的知识，又注意到伊拉克政府已宣布决定让武器视查员无条件地返回伊拉克，
