ORGANISATION FOR THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS

REMEMBRANCE DAY FOR ALL VICTIMS OF CHEMICALWARFARE

Today the Chemical Weapons Convention completes 15 years of its operation. This represents 15 years of progress that has no precedent in disarmament. The Convention embodies a commitment that took a hundred years to codify. An unqualified and unconditional ban on chemical weapons was the only means to prevent the carnage that humanity witnessed time and again.

UN Secretary General's Message on

  THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR ALL VICTIMS OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS

 29 April 2012

The Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare is an occasion to mourn those who have suffered from these inhumane arms and to renew our resolve to eradicate them from our world.

When we remind the world of the agony inflicted by chemical weapons, we present the most compelling case for permanently outlawing them and establishing and verifying, through the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), a comprehensive and legally binding ban.
