SIPRI Yearbook 2011
9. Reducing security threats from chemical and biological materials
In 2010 states continued to develop strategies to prevent and remediate the effects of the possible misuse of toxic chemical and biological materials for hostile purposes. The parties to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention prepared for the seventh conference. The head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons established an advisory panel on how its activities should be structured after the destruction of chemical weapon stockpiles ends. Determining what constitutes non-compliance with a legal obligation is a recurring theme that states must address. Scientific and technological developments, especially the increasing overlap between chemistry and life sciences, are a related challenge.
