Report on the future priorities of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons released the report of the Advisory Panel on future priorities of the OPCW. The report draws attention to the “relatively new issue” of convergence between chemistry and biology and recommends “closer interaction” between the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention. The report states that: “Convergence in the sciences does not in itself lead to convergence of the regimes, but exchanges of experience and joint technical reviews could be helpful to understand how it affects the implementation of both treaties at the interface between chemistry and biology.” [Emphasis in original]

The  report is available from the OPCW website
