Warfare poison agents
Chemical weapons are toxic substances designed to cause death, injury, or incapacitation through their poisonous effects on humans or animals.
They include nerve agents, blister agents like mustard gas, and choking agents like chlorine.
The use, production, and stockpiling of chemical weapons is banned under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, though violations persist.
The international community condemned the regime's use of chemical weapons against civilians.
