In December 2024, the final country profile of all 187 states parties of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention was published in English on the UNIDIR-VERTIC BWC National Implementation Database.
The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and the Verification Research, Training and Information Centre (VERTIC) have developed the BWC National Implementation Measures Database. This database is a searchable, publicly accessible resource containing information on the national implementation measures undertaken by all States Parties to the Biological Weapons Convention. Researchers in this project have conducted a thorough review of all States Parties national implementation measures, drawing on publicly available official sources. These sources are thoroughly reviewed and compiled in accordance with a research protocol and sent to each country for its review and consultation.
The next stage of the project will entail translating each of the 187 country profiles into each of the official United Nations languages, as well as updating the profiles with any new relevant implementing measures and harmonising profiles. To see each of the 187 country profiles in English see here.
