Enhancing the Biological Weapons Convention

Biological warfare agents are turning into an ever more serious threat. The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) to ban these weapons is too weak to cope with it, as it does not contain intrusive verification provisions. In this book, experts from six countries discuss the issue and present their own proposals to enhance the BWC.
