Abstract
In this report, we identify some of the key technical and political challenges currently facing the broader Chemical and Biological Weapons (CBW) regime, with particular emphasis on major forthcoming diplomatic meetings�most notably the Ninth Review Conference of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (1972) (BTWC), scheduled for 2022, and preparations for the Fifth Review Conference of the Chemical Weapons Convention (1993) (CWC), expected in 2023. This report is an output of an ongoing project designed to stimulate thinking and discussion about these issues within relevant stakeholder communities. The report provides an accessible introduction to this issue area for general readers before surveying key challenges and developing a series of practical policy suggestions for further consideration.
