Azerbaijani servicemen attend int’l conference

Representatives of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces are attending the 7th Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention in Geneva, Switzerland.

Biological Weapons Convention was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning the production of an entire category of weapons. Subsequent Review Conferences have reaffirmed that the general purpose criterion encompasses all future scientific and technological developments relevant to the Convention. Permitted purposes under the Convention are defined as prophylactic, protective and other peaceful purposes. States Parties have formally reviewed the operation of the Convention at review conferences held in 1980, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001/2002 and 2006.
