Chemical Warfare Convention

The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is an international treaty that aims to eliminate chemical weapons and prevent their use. It bans the development, production, stockpiling, and transfer of toxic chemicals and their precursors for weapon purposes. Countries that sign the treaty agree to inspect each other's facilities to ensure compliance and to destroy any existing chemical weapons under supervision. The goal is to promote global peace and security by eradicating a dangerous class of weapons that can cause mass casualties and suffering.
