Abstract
The norm against the deliberate use of poison and disease in warfare can be traced back several hundred if not thousand years. This ‘taboo’ became embodied in the 20th century in three international treaties which form the basis of the two chemical and biological weapons prohibition regimes that are still today the major instruments in the fight against the spread of biological and chemical weapons proliferation and use. The three legal instruments are the 1925 Geneva Protocol, the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC) and the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).KeywordsRegime EffectivenessIssue AreaBiological WeaponInternational RegimeRegime NormThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
