In this presentation we analyze these amendments in light of the Navalny poisoning and propose further revisions that would ensure a more comprehensive coverage of Novichok agents.

However, in August 2020, Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent not covered by the CWC Schedules. @s_costanzi @gregkoblentz @OPCW
The 2018 Skripal incident triggered an amendment of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) schedules and the addition of a number of precursor chemicals to the Australia Group list. @s_costanzi @gregkoblentz @OPCW
Our presentation at the @AmerChemSociety Spring 2021 meeting is now available on the web. @s_costanzi @gregkoblentz

ISIS used Iraqi prisoners as human guinea pigs for testing chemical weapons, UN investigators say. Experiments appear to have been part of a broader effort to create WMD.
ISIS used chemical weapons on Iraqi prisoners, U.N. investigators find
The use of human test subjects was linked to a larger effort to manufacture a weapon of mass destruction, according to a U.N. report.

Briefing on @StimsonCenter @AmericanU Cheminformatics Prototype Demonstration by @s_costanzi and @RichardCupitt
Briefing on Cheminformatics Prototype Demonstration on February 26, 2021 • Stimson Center
On February 26, 2021 the Stimson Center and American University unveiled its Cheminformatics database tool and software.

85% of States Parties present and voting supported this decision.
The #G7 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇫🇷🇯🇵🇮🇹🇩🇪🇪🇺 has set out our shared priorities for tackling the spread of dangerous weapons around the world.
@RichardCupitt Of “nuclear concern,” probably
@gregkoblentz @OPCW Taking out “or disabling physical effects” would make it clearer that only chemosensory irritants fall within the definition of riot control agents.
@gregkoblentz @OPCW CWC Article II.7. currently reads as follows. “Riot Control Agent” means: Any chemical not listed in a Schedule, which can produce rapidly in humans sensory irritation or disabling physical effects which disappear within a short time following termination of exposure.
@gregkoblentz @OPCW To further affirm the unsuitability of CNS-acting chemicals for use as riot control agents, it will be important to amend the Chemical Weapons Convention’s Article II.7 (which defines riot control agents) by expunging the language “or disabling physical effects”.
@gregkoblentz @OPCW The EC decision is in line with the SAB advice that only sensory irritants and not CNS-acting chemicals be considered suitable for use as riot control agents.
Advice from the Scientific Advisory Board of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons on riot control agents in connection to the Chemical Weapons Convention
Compounds that cause powerful sensory irritation to humans were reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of the Organisation for the Prohibitio...
