| 摘要 | Concerns that biological weapons will be used has focused attention on the need to develop a capability to independently investigate any allegation of use. The United Nations Secretary General’s Mechanism is one such mechanism and efforts to revitalise and strengthen this mechanism have acknowledged a wide range of technical difficulties which need to be overcome. This paper emphasises another aspect of the investigatory process – the communication of the results and findings of an investigation. The paper frames the investigation report as more than a technical recounting of what the investigators did and found, instead regarding it as the means by which the policy making audience ‘makes sense’ of the allegation. Drawing on literatures associated with science policy and ‘boundary objects’ the paper reflects on the guidance provided thus far and suggests there has been an implicit move towards seeing the reports as ‘boundary documents’. The suggestion made in this paper is that this implicit recognition should be now made explicit so that the critical position of the report is better appreciated. This has implications for the training of rostered experts. |
