After twenty years of negotiation within the framework of the Disarmament Conference, the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction was signed in Paris between 13 and 15 January 1993. At the same time, the signatory States adopted a resolution instituting a Preparatory Commission, established in The Hague, with the aim of `the prompt and effective establishment of the future Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’. A variety of converging considerations led the Curatorium of the A

The Chemical Weapons Convention entered into force on 29 April 1997, and the major player, namely the United States, ratified it shortly before that date. This constitutes an important achievement in disarmament law and also a step forward in general international law, as the Convention, in order to solve a serious security problem, establishes an unprecedented regime for controlling relevant state and private behaviour, administered by a newly-created international organization. The system being both new and complex, there is a considerable need for interpretation and explanation. I

[...] As Director-General of the OPCW, I believe that a broad based informed discussion on these issues is desirable and will contribute to the success of the Convention. It is for this reason that I encouraged the preparation of Verification Practice under the Chemical Weapons Convention: A Commentary I have strongly supported the efforts of the authors, Dr R Trapp and Dr W Krutzsch, both of whom have been intimately involved in the negotiations on and the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. The result of their efforts is this book. This is not a book for easy reading o

’Each State Party shall cooperate with other States Parties and afford the appropriate form of legal assistance ...’ These words mark the beginning of the obligation for States to work together to enforce a multilateral normative treaty. Terrorism and transnational criminal activity heighten the need for harmonisation and improved coordination between eforcement agencies internationally. This volume addresses current national, regional and international practice from the perspective of “lessons learned” by government officials, private practitioners, prosecutors, police and cu
