🗓️ #OnThisDay in 1997 the Chemical Weapons Convention entered into force. Since then, the OPCW and nearly every country in the world have worked together to uphold the Convention and ensure that chemistry is used only for peaceful purposes. To mark the CWC's 27th anniversary, we reflect on key milestones that have shaped our journey towards a world free of chemical weapons ⬇️ 💥 All declared stockpiles destroyed In 2023 a historic milestone was reached with the complete elimination of all declared chemical weapons stockpiles. This accomplishment underscored the power of global cooperation and marked a significant step forward in our collective pursuit of a safer world. 🧑🏿🔬 OPCW ChemTech Centre OPCW's ability to conduct chemical research and analysis was significantly enhanced with the establishment of the ChemTech Centre in 2023. The cutting-edge facility reinforces the OPCW's verification regime, inspection capabilities, and capacity building activities. 🏅 Nobel Peace Prize In 2013 the OPCW was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons. To extend this legacy, the #OPCWTheHagueAward was established, recognising individuals and institutions who make outstanding contributions towards a world free of chemical weapons. #TodayInHistory
