The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) is a cornerstone of international security, prohibiting the development, acquisition or use of biological weapons, and obliging its 163 States Parties to take steps to prevent the use of biology for malign purposes.
The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) is a cornerstone of international security, prohibiting the development, acquisition or use of biological weapons, and obliging its 163 States Parties to take steps to prevent the use of biology for malign purposes.
At the same time, Article X of the BWC protects and encourages the development of the peaceful applications of biological science and technology, many of which are crucial to public health.

Advances in biological science and technology present new challenges and opportunities, while the threats posed by naturally-occurring disease, unintended consequences, laboratory accidents, sabotage and terrorism form a continuous spectrum of biological risk that requires an integrated response.

Effectively implementing the BWC therefore involves a range of actors in many fields: arms control, security, law enforcement, customs, science and technology, education and training, public health, agriculture, and others.

- Illegal fishing is theft from the community.
– Ulovlig fiske er tyveri fra fellesskapet.
It is theft from our common food pantry, and a threat to the resources of the sea.
Det er tyveri fra matfatet vårt, og en trussel mot ressursene i havet.
And it distorts competition in a way that harms the honest players in the fishing industry, said Norwegian Minister of Fisheries, Mr Per Sandberg.
Og det skaper en negativ konkurransevridning for de ærlige aktørene i fiskerinæringen, sier fiskeriminister Per Sandberg.
According to the World Bank, the global fisheries sector is losing some NOK 695 billion each year.
Ifølge Verdensbanken taper den globale fiskerisektoren hvert år opp mot 695 milliarder norske kroner.
Norway has been a strong advocate of the agreement.
Norge har vært en pådriver for avtalen.
