What are chemical weapons?

Chemical weapons are toxic chemicals formulated to cause harm, injury, or death through their poisonous properties. They can take the form of gases, liquids, or solids and are designed to be released in warfare to incapacitate or kill people. Common examples of chemical weapons include nerve agents, blister agents, and choking agents. The use, production, and stockpiling of chemical weapons are widely prohibited under international law, specifically the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
