Biological Weapons: The past, the present and the future (By Samayeta Bal)
Published Paper
Article Details
Biological weapons have recently captured the
world's attention and resources. It’s dual use, has lead to it
aiding the development in the field of science, but has also been a major
concern as it can be easily harbored to create terror around the world. Advanced
technologies at the hands of non-state actors will have devastating
repercussions which needs to be addressed through conventions and it’s proper
implementation. The BWC, though tries to keep a check, there are still lacunae
in the articles laid down, which are not competent enough to deal with the
rising challenges that is brought about by science. Even a small-scale biological weapon deployment
might result in widespread sickness and death, exhausting local medical
resources. At a moment when violence is at its highest, the prospect of using
BWMD is greater than ever, and the government, defence agencies, medical
professionals, and, most importantly, ordinary individuals must be alert. It is
critical to have a thorough scrutiny of the convention present,
and the member states should thereafter make sure that a foolproof course of
action is undertaken to tackle to new issues.
