BWC stands for Biological Weapons Convention
The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) is an international treaty that effectively prohibits the development, production, and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons. Opened for signature in 1972, the BWC aims to prevent the use of biological agents for hostile purposes while promoting cooperation in the field of biological research for peaceful means. The treaty fosters global security and public health by establishing a framework for member states to work together in combating biological threats and ensuring compliance through various confidence-building measures.
