About 80 scientists and professionals involved in arms control, foreign policy or security studies, gathered in Budapest at a NATO-sponsored 'Advanced Study Institute' from 20th-29th March, for an in-depth analysis of scientific and technical issues related to the implementation of the Protocol of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC).
The experts came from 22 countries and addressed the implications for government, biological defence facilities, industry and academia of the implementation of the BTWC Protocol. In organising this tutorial meeting, the lessons to be learned from the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) which entered into force in April 1997 were taken into account. The CWC is a particularly relevant regime to the BTWC and its Protocol because of the close relationship between chemical weapons and biological weapons and their overlap in respect to toxins and bioregulators.
This was one of a series of high-level tutorials and workshops sponsored by the NATO Science Programme on the science and technology implications of the BTWC, which have been organised by specialists from the Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford, UK, together with colleagues from other Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council countries. Further details of the ongoing negotiations for the BTWC may be found at:
