The US military has destroyed the last of its chemical weapons, President Joe Biden announced. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Nobel peace prize-winning organization that oversees the treaty, confirmed in a statement that the last chemical weapons declared by the convention's parties were destroyed. "The end of all declared chemical weapons stockpiles is an important milestone for the organization," said Fernando Arias, the director-general of the OPCW. "It is a critical step towards achieving its mission to permanently eliminate all chemical weapons." "I continue to encourage the remaining nations to join the Chemical Weapons Convention so that the global ban on chemical weapons can reach its fullest potential," Biden said in a statement.

WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. has destroyed the last of its declared chemical weapons stockpile, President Joe Biden said on Friday, bringing to an end a decades-long effort to eliminate the deadly weapons first used on a large scale in World War One. As part of the Chemical Weapons Convention, which was ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1997, the U.S. and other signatories are required to destroy their chemical weapons stockpile by Sept. 30, 2023. The U.S. has been destroying its remaining stockpiles at U.S. Army Pueblo Chemical Depot in Pueblo, Colorado, and Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD) in Richmond, Kentucky. "Chemical weapons are responsible for some of the most horrific episodes of human loss. Chemical weapons came to the fore during World War One, which became known as the "chemist's war."
