Wang said the U.S. military’s bioresearch violated the 1925 Geneva Protocol and the Biological Weapons Convention, which are important parts of international law to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The Geneva Protocol is the first international pact that banned the use of asphyxiating, poisonous and other gases, and bacteriological weapons in war. The Biological Weapons Convention went a step further toward the total elimination of such weapons by prohibiting their development, production, stockpiling, acquisition, retention, transfer and delivery systems, as well as requiring their destruction, Wang said.
Valentina Matviyenko, speaker of the Federation Council, the upper house of Russia’s parliament, said Russia is fully prepared to repel potential biological threats.
“During the work of the parliamentary commission, we are also convinced that our country is fully prepared for repelling biological threats,” Matviyenko said. “As (Russian Deputy Prime Minister) Tatyana Alekseyevna confirmed, relevant work is being carried out in our country in full and at a high professional level. And our citizens are in safety.”
