Keywords: Cybersecurity; Cyberwarfare; Cyberdefense; Abstract: The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), sometimes known as the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, was the first international convention to ban an entire category of weapon. It was a watershed in international disarmament efforts. Negotiators took advantage of an unusual alignment during the cold war to agree a pact in 1972 which effectively bans the development, production, acquisition, transfer, trafficking, stockpiling and use of biological weapons. It went further than any similar piece of international law that preceded it, and thanks to buyin from major North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Warsaw Pact players, it has a truly global reach. The international community came together to brand these weapons as “repugnant to the conscience of mankind”. |
