OPCW

From health to industry, chemistry has transformed our world. But progress brings responsibility. A strong culture of ethics in science is essential to ensuring chemistry continues to benefit humanity and protect the environment. Discover the #HagueEthicalGuidelines ⬇️

💡Awareness is a key responsibility of every chemist. The #HagueEthicalGuidelines encourage chemists to remain alert to potential chemical misuse, and to promote ethical application of chemistry. Engaged scientists help safeguard both science and society. #ChemistryForPeace

CHEMEX is OPCW’s flagship chemical emergency preparedness and response exercise. Taking place from 27 April to 7 May in the Dominican Republic, CHEMEX GRULAC will help countries in the region prepare for a chemical incident. Here’s what you need to know about #CHEMEXGRULAC ⬇️

📚Education is essential to promoting responsible science. The #HagueEthicalGuidelines encourage chemists and institutions to embed ethical awareness in training, helping future scientists recognize risks and prevent misuse. #ChemistryForPeace

🗓️ The 111th Session of the OPCW Executive Council (#EC111) will be held this week, 10-13 March. ▶️ Learn about the EC and its role in promoting effective implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Women are driving progress in every aspect of OPCW’s mission. Women lead👩‍⚖️, inspect🕵️, train👩‍🏫, mentor🤝, and collaborate, advancing the implementation of the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention. Today on #IWD2026, and every day, OPCW stands #ForAllWomenAndGirls🌍

🌍🧪 Students stepped into the world of chemical weapons non-proliferation and disarmament diplomacy at #WIMUN New York, where the OPCW joined its first multilateral simulation with @WFUNA. 58 students from 19 countries simulated the work of the Conference of the States Parties for a world #FreeofChemicalWeapons. #ModelUN #Disarmament

With 193 States Parties, the Chemical Weapons Convention is the world's most successful disarmament treaty. On the International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness, we underscore the importance of collective action to keep the world #FreeofChemicalWeapons. #IDDNPA #5March

🧪 Chemistry practitioners play a key role in shaping a sustainable world. Developed with the #OPCW, the #HagueEthicalGuidelines highlight the importance of ensuring sustainability in chemistry and promote responsible conduct in the chemical sciences. #ChemistryForPeace

🧪🔍 OPCW inspectors make up a multidisciplinary team trained to deploy rapidly, work independently, and deliver objective, science-based findings. They carry out two types of inspections: Routine inspections ✔️ → Check compliance, verify declarations, and ensure chemicals are used responsibly. Non-routine missions 🚨 → Deploy when there's a potential threat or suspected chemical weapon use—focused purely on facts. OPCW inspectors stay trained, equipped, and ready for one shared mission: a world #FreeofChemicalWeapons
