Former @OPCW Director-General Ahmet Üzümcü:
"The United States, which contributes more than 20 percent of the organisation’s budget, is apparently among those States Parties lagging behind (it has not paid the $17 million it owes for 2026). As a former Director-General of the OPCW myself, I find this difficult to understand. Strengthening the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is clearly in the interest of the United States." europeanleadershipnetwork.or…
