Synopsis

Individual states intending to become parties to the projected Chemical Weapons Convention will need to make detailed studies of the obligations it could bring. This book aims to stimulate this process by providing a detailed analysis of these obligations as outlined in the current draft of the C.W. Convention and considering its technological, organizational, and political implications. Contributions include reviews by experts in disarmament, regulatory bodies, and the chemical industry of different aspects of arms control and disarmament regulations. The book provides studies of national legislation and relevant regulations, making it a useful guide for those developing procedures for the enforcement of the Convention on a national level.
