Meeting the challenges of chemical and biological weapons: strengthening the chemical and biological disarmament and non-proliferation regimes

Yes / In this report, we identify some of the key technical and political challenges currently
facing the broader Chemical and Biological Weapon (CBW) regime- with a particular
emphasis on major forthcoming diplomatic meetings. Most significantly the Ninth Review
Conference of the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention (1972) (BTWC) which will
take place in 2022 and preparations for the Fifth Review Conference of the Chemical
Weapons Convention (1993) (CWC), expected in 2023. This report is an output of an
ongoing project, designed to stimulate thinking and discussion about these issues, within
relevant stakeholder communities. The report provides an introduction to this issue area
for the general reader before surveying key issues and developing a series of practical
policy suggestions for further consideration.
