Webinar:
Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) as a tool to strengthen implementation of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention
June 27th
The webinar “Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) as a Tool to Strengthen the Implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention” aims not only to raise awareness among Panamanian entities regarding the implementation of measures related to the non-proliferation of biological weapons, including the Convention itself, but also to present the tool developed by the OAS/CICTE to strengthen the process of collecting, compiling, and submitting the CBMs to the Convention’s Implementation Support Unit. This event is part of the project funded by the European Union to strengthen biosafety and biosecurity measures in line with United Nations Security Council resolution 1540 (2004).
