Civil society organizations at OPCW

12.08.2017

Civil society organizations have been a major part of #OPCW’s progress over the past two decades in building a world free of chemical weapons. They have been staunch advocates of chemical disarmament and have promoted public understanding of the Chemical Weapons Convention through public outreach, education, and awareness-raising worldwide. This video of interviews of civil society representatives was filmed during the 21st Conference of the States Parties (CSP21) to the Chemical Weapons Convention (#CWC) held at the World Forum, the Hague, the Netherlands, from 28 November to 2 December 2016. In the video:

Luigi Antonio Poggi - Executive Director of the Health Safety Environmental Research Association Rome (HESAR) and member of the #MasterCBRN

Irene Kornelly - Member Colorado Chemical Demilitarisation Citizens' Advisory Commission

Miad Rashedifar - Independent Artist Hamid Salehi - Iranian veteran and chemical weapons survivor of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988)

 

Maria Sultan - Pakistani political scientist, defence analyst and the Director General of the South Asian Strategic Stability Institute (SASSI)
