International Chemical Weapons Convention

The International Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is a global treaty that aims to eliminate chemical weapons and prevent their use. Established in 1997, it prohibits the development, production, stockpiling, and use of toxic chemicals for warfare. Countries that sign the convention agree to destroy existing chemical weapons and allow inspections to ensure compliance. The CWC enhances international security and promotes the peaceful use of chemistry, while also providing mechanisms for addressing violations. It represents a collective effort to protect humanity from the dangers of chemical warfare.
