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.

@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”.
Fantastic snapshot from history: Report of the Conference on Disarmament 1987 (Berlin Wall still up) including a negotiation draft of the Chemical Weapons Convention with „provisional“ lists of scheduled chemicals (104, 112, 115). Looks familiar? #OPCW https://t.co/ZOKx8sPogG
