PREVENTING AND MITIGATING THE NEXT USE OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS

How can the ‘next use’ of chemical or biological weapons be prevented? What are the implications of globally-proliferated dual-use capabilities and how can sound risk-assessment be implemented? How can global buy-in to the prevention enterprise be achieved? What can we learn from past instances of use, by different actors? How can the problems of attribution and accreditation be confronted? Are the CBW regimes up to the job and how can they maintain relevance?
