Abstract:
At the invitation of the Government of Nepal, the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), through the United Nations Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the Pacific (UNRCPD) and the UNODA-Geneva Branch, with financial support from the European Union (EU) organised a national workshop, attended by almost 25 Government officials and BWC experts, on the implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) for the Government of Nepal. The aim of the workshop was to bring together all the national stakeholders and implementing authorities in Nepal with regional and international experts on the subject, to plan a course of action for the national implementation of the BWC.
Representatives from 12 Nepalese national agencies received information on topics including: modalities for national coordination; legislative, administrative and enforcement measures; awareness-raising; the creation of codes of conduct and standards on biosafety and biosecurity; BWC national implementation in Asia and the Pacific; national requirements and needs for strengthening BWC implementation; and, the concept of the Action Plan.
