The Biological & Toxin Weapons Convention: recapping events of 2002

Article Abstract:

Biological and toxin weapons (BTW) are destructive in nature and the means to counter them are limited, so about 146 nations signed a treaty in 1972 on Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) to ban the use of such weapons for hostile purposes. The fifth review conference of the BTWC in November 2001 to veto a draft protocol, which was rejected by the U.S, was reconvened in Nov. 2002.

However, the international community should explore the prospects for a multipolar system of nuclear deterrence in the years ahead and lay to rest the myth that nuclear disarmament is achievable.
