What Does CWC Stand For?
CWC stands for Chemical Weapons Convention
The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is an international treaty that aims to eliminate chemical weapons and prevent their development, production, stockpiling, and use. Established in 1992 and entering into force in 1997, the CWC promotes the peaceful use of chemistry and requires member states to declare and dismantle chemical weapon stockpiles, while providing for verification measures to ensure compliance. It represents a significant effort in global disarmament and non-proliferation, fostering cooperation among nations in the pursuit of a safer world free from chemical warfare.
