The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is an intergovernmental organization that serves as the implementing body for the Chemical Weapons Convention, which aims to permanently and verifiably eliminate chemical weapons globally. With 193 Member States, the OPCW oversees compliance and provides assistance in the implementation of the Convention, ensuring that chemical weapons are not used or produced. The organization plays a crucial role in international security and peace by promoting the peaceful use of chemistry and supporting nations in their efforts to prevent the re-emergence of chemical weapons.
