On Monday, Antonio Guterres, secretary-general of the UN, urged action in three areas to stop the catastrophe of biological weapons.

In a video address to attendees of the Ninth Biological Weapons Convention Review Conference in Geneva, Guterres made the call.

According to Guterres, the first area of action is to give the accountability clauses of the agreement some real teeth in order to prevent the exploitation of technological advancements for malicious ends. Let’s ensure that technology and research are utilized for the benefit of humanity rather than for its demise and that peace continues to be at the core of all scientific cooperation and development.

Second, reconsider verification and compliance in light of current concerns. Over the past five decades, the world has undergone significant change. He suggested that the custom should adapt along with it.

Third, provide the convention with the extra funds and personnel it needs to complete this crucial work, said Guterres.

“The world generously supports international regulations against the spread of nuclear and chemical weapons. The convention’s budget should be significantly increased as we should do the same with biological weapons, he said. The time has come to block all potential routes for the creation and use of these weapons.

The world came together to condemn the intentional use of disease as a weapon fifty years ago when the Biological Weapons Convention was available for signing. According to Guterres, the convention upholds humanity’s conscience.

The world was brought to its knees by the Covid-19 pandemic. Imagine a sickness that is intentionally created and has the ability to spread through the world’s population much more quickly, he continued. “Biological weapons are a reality, not a fantasy. They pose a real and immediate threat. The Biological Weapons Convention has to be strengthened more than ever as a result.
