Opis

A meeting of 30 experts was held in Bonn, Germany, in November 1996 to discuss various aspects of the destruction of chemical weapons in the Russian Federation. This volume reviews the Russian chemical weapon destruction efforts, the factors which have hindered them, and the reasons why Russian ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) was postponed until 5 November 1997.

Recenzje

some of the chapters (particularly those by Kalinina, Khripunov and Smithson) provide a valuable account of the legal and institutional problems which Russia has encountered in establishing a framework for CW destruction and will be read with interest by students of security issues
