Bioweapons and Scientific Advances


The 191 States Parties and Signatory States to the 1975 Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) staged their Eighth Review Conference from 7-25 November 2016. In this text, Claudia Otto and Oliver Thränert 1) assess the progress the BWC has made thus far, to include the attempts to both implement and enhance the treaty, and 2) analyze the recent assaults on the BWC’s relevancy, which are attributable to the radical technical and scientific advances occurring in the life sciences.
