International Chemical Weapons Convention

China has engaged in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raise concerns regarding its compliance with the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention (BWC) and the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Pentagon said.

A top Russian official says Russia will destroy all of its chemical weapons by the end of next year, a year earlier than previously announced.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was thrust into the spotlight when it was required to oversee the destruction of chemical weapons in Syria, but it has been working since the 1990s as the body that implements the Chemical Weapons Convention, the first international treaty to outlaw an entire class of weapons.

The Lok Sabha on Thursday passed a bill for regulating chemical weapons in accordance with international convention and another to set up more AIIMS-like institutes amidst opposition din demanding prime minister's resignation.
