Addressing those concerns, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu said the “United Nations is not aware of any biological weapons programmes”. Nor is it in a position to confirm or deny” reports that public health facilities are in areas impacted by armed conflict, placing the safety of those facilities at risk. She appealed to all parties in the conflict to ensure the safety of all such facilities in Ukraine. Explaining that the Russian Federation and Ukraine are both States parties to the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention - which prohibits their development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use - and that Moscow is a depositary Government, she said biological weapons have been outlawed since the Convention entered into force in 1975. With 183 States parties to the treaty, biological weapons are “universally seen as being abhorrent and illegitimate,” she stressed....However, the Convention lacks a multilateral verification mechanism overseen by an independent organization, such as the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), meaning that the responsibility of assessing compliance rests with States parties. The treaty does contain several measures for States to address concerns or suspicions about the activities of their peers, Ms. Nakamitsu said. Under Article V, for example, States parties can consult and cooperate to resolve any problems which may arise. An annual exchange of information has been established, based upon the submission of confidence-building measures...The Russian Federation and Ukraine both participate annually in the confidence-building measures, and their annual reports are available to all States parties for the purposes of transparency and reassurance...." </a></td> <td><a target="_blank" href="https://www.twitter.com/">Twitter</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20%"><span> </span> United States</td> <td><a target="_blank" href="US -
