Chemical Weapons Convention: Boon or Bust?.

Abstract

On April 24, 1997 the Senate ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention by a vote of 74 to 26. This act of consent ended four years of critical debate by the Senate, the Executive Branch, the Department of Defense, the chemical industry and more importantly the citizens; while simultaneously ushering in a false sense of security. This paper will analyze key issues effected by the Chemical Weapons Convention in an attempt to assess its impact on the national security of the United States.
