Statement on the occasion of the
International Day of Remembrance for all victims of Chemical warfare
For the memorial ceremony in Tehran Peace Museum 29 April 2012
On behalf of Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament, I extend deepest respects to all those from Iran who have suffered from the devastating effects of chemical weapons use.
STATEMENT BY THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE OPCW
ORGANISATION FOR THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS
REMEMBRANCE DAY FOR ALL VICTIMS OF CHEMICALWARFARE
Today the Chemical Weapons Convention completes 15 years of its operation. This represents 15 years of progress that has no precedent in disarmament. The Convention embodies a commitment that took a hundred years to codify. An unqualified and unconditional ban on chemical weapons was the only means to prevent the carnage that humanity witnessed time and again.
Ban Ki-moon's Message
UN Secretary General's Message on
THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR ALL VICTIMS OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS
29 April 2012
The Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare is an occasion to mourn those who have suffered from these inhumane arms and to renew our resolve to eradicate them from our world.
When we remind the world of the agony inflicted by chemical weapons, we present the most compelling case for permanently outlawing them and establishing and verifying, through the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), a comprehensive and legally binding ban.
