WA Office's Official Statement (AGAINST)
This review will be rather short, as the resolution is lacking in an actual argument. The definition of a chemical weapon is not sufficient for a true ban on chemical weapons considering the potential use of an inhibitive agent in order to aid a side on the battlefield. Furthermore this resolution completely eliminates the ability of member nations to create labs in which they could study chemical weapons in order to develop countermeasures to them. As such, the WA Office is AGAINST this resolution.
 
This resolution is currently up for vote in the WA.
