The second national workshop on the implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) was held in Kathmandu, Nepal 9-10 June. The workshop was part of an assistance programme for Nepal and was organised by 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), and in cooperation with the government of Nepal. Representatives from 16 national departments and agencies, a majority of them senior officials, attended the workshop.
The workshop focused on addressing the issue of national implementation measures and the relevance of establishing a BWC National Committee. Experts from the government of Malaysia and India shared their own national experiences, and VERTIC (the Verification Research, Training and Information Centre), UNODA Geneva and UNRCPD enhanced the understanding of Nepal by presenting the key issue of BWC implementation.
