The use of chemical and biological weapons in war is prohibited by the Geneva Protocol of 1925 and the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972. Currently a new Chemical Weapons Convention is being negotiated in the UN Conference on Disarmament in Geneva. When this Convention enters into force the production, stockpiling and retention of chemical weapons will be prohibited. The development of a body of international law will enable the verifiable destruction of weapons such as these, and should lead to a more general programme of disarmament.
1925年的《日内瓦议定书》和1972年的《生物武器公约》禁止在战争中使用化学和生物武器。目前，一项新的《化学武器公约》正在日内瓦的联合国裁军谈判会议上进行谈判。当该公约生效时，将禁止生产、储存和保有化学武器。国际法体系的发展将使这类武器能够得到可核查的销毁，并应促成更广泛的裁军计划。
