Are data declarations required for abandoned chemical weapons or production facilities?
States that left chemical weapons and production facilities on the territory of other CWC members are required to make declarations about the abandoned munitions and facilities. Any CWC member finding chemical weapons or production facilities abandoned by another state on its territory must also submit available relevant information to the Technical Secretariat. As of June 2001, seven countries-Belgium, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom-had declared that chemical weapons were abandoned on their territory.
