Mark the 100th anniversary of the 1925 Geneva Protocol that prohibits the use of chemical weapons in international armed conflicts.

 

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the 1925 Geneva Protocol that prohibits the use of chemical weapons in international armed conflicts. A century ago, after witnessing the terrible impact of chemical weapons during World War I, the international community came together to ban their use in war. On the Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare (30 November) we pay tribute to the victims of chemical warfare over the decades. We also remember the global efforts to end the use of these abhorrent tactics.
