AB - Some Australian Efforts to Promote Chemical Weapons Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Timothy L H McCormacK Introduction On 11-13 January 1993 representatives of 130 States participated in a ceremony in Paris to sign the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons. The signing ceremony marked the culmination of more than 20 years of discussions and at least nine years of detailed negotiations. This protracted negotiation process had become so stagnant in recent years that many were convinced there would never be final agreement on an effective Chemical Weapons Convention. In their speeches prior to signing the Convention several representatives singled out Australia for particular praise because of a major initiative by Australia in the context of the Chemical Weapons Convention negotiations early in 1992.2 The Secretary-General of the United Nations, for example, stated that: Je pense egalement au role qu'a eu Ie Gouvernement australien dans I'intensification des negociations sur la Convention.
