You could start with the Geneva Gas Protocol of 1925. If you want to go more recent, move fifty years to the Convention on the Prohibition on the Stockpiling of Toxin Weapons. If you recall, I asked you what treaties you referred to in reply to THIS statement of yours: >>>One reason to limit the point to the last 20 years is that WMD have been used for millenia, but international law banning their use is fairly recent<<< Message 19768459 Clearly, a treaty from 1925 cannot be grounds for your "limiting the point to the last 20 years". As for the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction [Note the real name of the Convention]: Iraq has signed the Convention but has not ratified it. Kind of like US and the Kyoto Treaty - signed but not ratified and hence not following it. Next time, do your own homework Just giving the names of the international agreements you were referring to is "homework"? I see. Next time, how about you actually take a look at the issues yourself before making statements about them, so you know a protocol is more than 75 years old (not less than 20) and the other is not ratified by the country you are blaming for violating it...
