Geneva Protocol of 1925

The Geneva Protocol of 1925 is an international treaty that prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons in warfare. It was established in the aftermath of World War I, where such weapons were used extensively, causing devastating effects. The protocol aims to promote peace by ensuring that nations do not resort to these inhumane methods of warfare. While it laid the groundwork for later agreements, it lacked strong enforcement mechanisms, making compliance primarily based on mutual agreement among countries. The treaty reflects an early effort to address the moral and humanitarian concerns surrounding modern warfare.
