Chemical weapons disarmament and the future of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) [WP1079]

• What is the current status of chemical weapons disarmament by the States Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)?
• What are the implications of some missing the 2012 deadline?
• How can progress be accelerated?
• How to manage the post-2012 process of disarmament?
• What happens to the OPCW after the disarmament process has been completed?
• Can it become a non-proliferation institution rather than a disarmament one?
• How can consensus about the post-disarmament nature and status of the OPCW be developed?
• How can non-signatory states and non-ratifying signatories be brought into the CWC as full States Parties?
