Enhancing BWC Implementation in Moldova

Аннотация

The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) celebrates its 50th anniversary this
year. Building on the foundations of the 1925 Geneva Protocol, the Convention has
established a strong and comprehensive norm against an entire category of Weapons
of Mass Destruction.

Recognizing the evolving risks posed by rapid scientific advancements and the dual
use nature of life sciences, the Republic of Moldova, a State Party to the Convention
since 2005, recently appointed its National Agency for Public Health as its BWC
National Contact Point to strengthen national implementation and collaboration.

The BWC Implementation Support Unit looks forward to working closely with the
National Agency for Public Health in the Republic of Moldova to further strengthen
the national implementation of the Convention and congratulates the Moldavian
Biosafety and Biosecurity Association on its publication “One Health & Risk
Management” in support of these efforts.
