Description
Summary:[EN]Chemical weapons have been used throughout history with devastating effects on the civilian population and the environment. This research will address the treatment of chemical weapons, their origin, classification and regulation in the CWC, as well as their effects on the population and the environment. This system thus seeks to establish a control regime with the aim of preventing the proliferation of this type of substances, as well as to regulate their trade among the States Parties. The methods used for the destruction of chemical weapons and their safe disposal will then be explored. Finally, the environmental impact of chemical weapons and their devastating effects, such as contamination of soil and groundwater or on the flora and fauna of the area, will be discussed.
