chemical disarmament

Chemical disarmament involves the process of reducing and ultimately eliminating the stockpiles of chemical weapons globally. It aims to prevent the use of hazardous chemicals that can cause mass injuries or death, by safely destroying existing stockpiles and preventing their future development or use. This effort is guided by international agreements like the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which promotes transparency, verification, and compliance among nations. Ultimately, chemical disarmament seeks to make the world safer by removing the threat of chemical warfare and ensuring such weapons are never used again.
