The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is an international body established in 1997 to implement the Chemical Weapons Convention. Its main goal is to eliminate chemical weapons and prevent their use in warfare. The OPCW works with member states to ensure compliance and promote the peaceful use of chemistry. The OPCW conducts inspections of chemical facilities and oversees the destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles. It also provides assistance and protection to countries facing chemical threats. The organization plays a crucial role in global security by fostering cooperation among nations to uphold the ban on chemical weapons.
