Opis

Ever since its employment in the First World War, chemical warfare has always aroused controversy. However, despite the signing of the Geneva Protocol in 1925 which banned the use of poison gas, chemical weapons have been used in subsequent conflicts and most recently in the Gulf War between Iraq and Iran.
