Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare

The Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare, observed on 30th November, is a United Nations-designated day to honour those who have suffered and died as a result of chemical warfare. This solemn day serves as a reminder of the devastating impact that chemical weapons have had throughout history, as well as the continued global commitment to eliminating these weapons and preventing their use in future conflicts.

Chemical warfare has been responsible for some of the most horrific and indiscriminate suffering in modern history, from the use of poison gas in World War I to more recent atrocities. The day encourages reflection on the international agreements, like the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), that aim to prohibit the production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons, and to promote efforts toward disarmament.
