About this person
Delpech had been director of strategic studies at the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) from 1997. She served as an adviser to Alain Juppé during his tenure as Prime Minister (1995-1997). She was also a researcher with CERI at Sciences Po, a commissioner with the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, and an international adviser to the International Committee of the Red Cross, and was "one of France's foremost thinkers on international security." Breaking with many French intellectuals she supported the 2003 American-led intervention in Iraq and has since advocated stronger sanctions against Iran.
