BANNED GASES

 

It is stated that the bombs in question are prohibited in the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use and Destruction of Chemical Weapons, which was opened for signature in Paris on January 13, 1993 and entered into force in 1997. Turkey is among the 193 signatory countries.

 

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) also counts tear gas as a chemical weapon if used in combat.
