Preventing and Responding to Chemical Weapons Terrorism

The objective of this joint programme is to significantly enhance the capability of Indonesian authorities to prevent, detect, and respond to the acquisition, development, and threat or use of chemical weapons by non-state actors, in particular for terrorist purposes.

In close collaboration with the Government of Indonesia, the programme is working to ensure that the national authorities’ comprehensive and proactive approach reflects international legal standards, good practices and the latest available knowledge
