The CWC Coalition hosted a webinar Tuesday, November 14 on the key issues facing the Chemical Weapons Convention ahead of its annual Conference of States Parties in The Hague from November 27 through December 1, 2023. The webinar highlighted key issues, followed by a general discussion with all participants with a goal of defining the issues that civil society would like to raise at the Conference of States Parties.

Such issues included compliance, accountability, universality, expansion of schedules, and more.

Speakers included Alexander Ghionis, Research Fellow in Chemical and Biological Security at the Harvard Sussex Program, and Richard Guthrie, CBW Events Coordinator. The webinar was moderated by CWC Coalition Project Coordinator Mina Rozei.
