The OPCW's 31st Conference of the States Parties is scheduled for November 23–27 in The Hague.

By News National Editorial Team

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is preparing to convene its 31st Conference of the States Parties from November 23 to 27, 2026, in The Hague, Netherlands.

The conference is an important annual meeting under the international framework established by the Chemical Weapons Convention.

The treaty prohibits the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention, transfer and use of chemical weapons. It also establishes international obligations for countries that have joined the convention.

Reviewing implementation

The Conference of the States Parties oversees implementation of the convention and reviews issues connected with compliance and the organisation's work.

Representatives of member states participate in the meeting, which provides a forum for discussing the treaty's objectives and international cooperation.

The OPCW also supports countries through activities involving verification, assistance, protection and capacity-building.

International importance

The prohibition of chemical weapons is an important part of international efforts to prevent the use of weapons that can cause severe harm to civilians and military personnel.

The convention's implementation depends on cooperation between member states and the work of the OPCW.

The 2026 conference will take place at the World Forum in The Hague. The organisation has published logistical information, public documents and webcast details on its official website.

Following the November meeting

The official conference record and statements will be important sources for assessing any decisions or developments.

News National will monitor the proceedings and distinguish formal decisions from proposals or statements made by individual delegations.
