Abstract

The Second Review Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction was held in Geneva from 8 to 26 September 1986. The First Review Conference, which had been held in Geneva in March 1980, had stated in its Final Declaration that a second review conference should be held at the request of a majority of States parties not earlier than 1985 and, in any case, not later than 1990. By resolution 39/65 D of 12 December 1984, the General Assembly noted, inter alia, that a majority of States parties to the Convention had requested that such a conference be held.
