2024년 XNUMX월, 국제과학위원회(ISC)와 유엔 군축사무국(UNODA)은 제네바 과학정책 인터페이스로부터 생물무기금지조약(BWC)을 강화하기 위한 보조금을 공동으로 수여받았습니다.
배경
This initiative responds to the need – emphasized during the recent BWC Review Conference – to better integrate scientific developments into the Convention’s operations, particularly through scientific review and verification mechanisms.
It fosters collaboration between BWC delegates and scientific experts by developing methodologies that promote mutual understanding and trust. Through targeted discussions and tailored knowledge products, the initiative aims to equip delegates with the tools needed to address current and emerging biological threats, thereby strengthening the BWC’s role in global biosecurity.
활동 및 영향
- 2024년 XNUMX월: 제네바 과학 정책 인터페이스 상을 수여하다 프로젝트를 수행합니다.
- 2024년 XNUMX월~XNUMX월: ISC 양식 독립적인 과학적 조언을 제공하는 전문가 그룹입니다.
- 2024년 XNUMX월~XNUMX월: ISC 전문가 그룹은 BWC 내 과학-정책 인터페이스를 강화하기 위한 협력적 노력에 참여합니다.
- 2024월 XNUMX일: 다섯 번째 세션 of the Working Group on the Strengthening of the Biological Weapons Convention took place at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland from 2 to 13 December 2024 and was attended by the ISC Expert Group.
- In 2025, the ISC will release a series of three working papers offering comprehensive frameworks to inform discussions on compliance and verification. These frameworks will address emerging biothreats and propose an expanded verification system. Building on the work of past committees, they will combine off-site and on-site measures and leverage cutting-edge technologies.
이 프로젝트는 2025년에 완료될 예정이다.
