The 2007–2010 Intersessional Process
This book gathers together many of the best contributions from the work within the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) framework and provides expert reviews of key themes, case studies of interesting national approaches, as well as unique perspectives from the ground. It is a practical tool for implementing the convention, an introductory guide to current best practice at the health/security interface and adds to the historical record of this important international instrument.
