CBW Conventions Bulletin

The CBW Conventions Bulletin, formerly The Chemical Weapons Convention Bulletin, was the quarterly journal of the Harvard Sussex Program. Eighty-six issues were edited jointly by Matthew Meselson and Julian Perry Robinson, with the HSP Advisory Board serving as its Editorial Committee, between 1988 and 2010. Since then special issues are produced. The Bulletin is a journal of record, offering its readers a systematic account of events in and around the CBW world during the previous three months; as listing of notable publications; a calendar of scheduled forthcoming events in the CBW world; and detailed reviews of the latest developments within the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in The Hague and reports on the activities concerning the Biological Weapons Convention in Geneva. The journal also offered its readers editorial comment on matters of the moment as well as authoritative invited comment and comments.
