Biological weapons are the most commonly used weapons of mass destruction. Serious international concerns exist about their use by non-state actors, and such use is facilitated by developments in biotechnology. In Denmark, counter-proliferation is served by a new biosecurity act and the establishment of a new biosecurity authority. Aspects of biopreparedness have also been strengthened. International collaboration is necessary in order to enhance both the security measures aimed at avoiding the misuse of science but also to enhance societal resilience if potentially devastating biological attacks should occur.
生物武器是最常用的大规模杀伤性武器。非国家行为者使用生物武器引起了国际社会的严重关切，而生物技术的发展便利了此类武器的使用。在丹麦，一项新的生物安全法案和一个新的生物安全机构的设立有助于防扩散。生物防范的各个方面也得到了加强。为了加强旨在避免科学被滥用的安全措施，以及在可能发生毁灭性生物攻击时提高社会复原力，国际合作是必要的。
