The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was created in 1997. This is an intergovernmental organization established in the city of Hague the Netherlands and has 193 Member States; from there it came the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) whose mission is to completely destroy all existing chemical weapons; the provision of protection and assistance against chemical threats; international security; world economic development and the encouragement of international cooperation for a peaceful approach to chemistry. The world's first international disarmament agreement marked the end of negotiations in the Conference Disarmament and Preparatory Commission meant the birth of a new international administration since in this way the OPCW plans to achieve the elimination of the current existence of these weapons. All within the legitimate protection of national security and proprietary interests.
