Use of chemical weapons

As per the Geneva Protocol 1925, the use of chemical weapons, through the implementation of the provisions of the “CONVENTION ON THE PROHIBITION OF THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, STOCKPILING AND USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND ON THEIR DESTRUCTION 2005” is prohibited world-wide as a method of warfare for the benefit of mankind.

There are many toxic chemicals /gases which can create devastation/death in areas where the chemical weapons are used. However, chemicals are used often by some governments and other terror organizations to strike terror and induce fear amongst the public at large.  Often, we hear of accidental toxic gas leak causing death of people in the vicinity. Recently, in Douma, Syria chemical weapon was used and so many deaths.  

It is time that the UNSC urgently step-in and enforce the provisions /obligations of the Convention in letter and spirit and ensure that the chemical weapons are never used as a means of warfare or civil war to destroy population groups. The incidents of use of chemicals/chemical weapons should be investigated by UN authorities. Adequate resources for monitoring and for providing medical care for affected should be provided by the rich nations.
