Press Release:

USA Violating the Biological Weapons Convention, NGO Asserts*

When the Eighth Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) meets this November at the United Nations in Geneva, its purpose will be to review the status of the implementation of the treaty. However, an NGO presentation will be challenging the US's compliance with the treaty.

The presentation by ITHACA will focus on specific aspects of the USAmerican behaviour vis a vis biological weapons control. The presentation will detail the altering of domestic bio-weapons legislation via the USA PATRIOT Act, which gave the US immunity from violating its own bio-weapons laws. The presentation will also reveal
that, contrary to the dictates of politically binding mandates, the US failed to inform the Convention at large concerning this pivotal change in U.S. legislation. The ITHACA presentation will provide details of what appears to be a covert domestic bio-weapons delivery system as well
as point to the stockpiling of bio-weapons on military bases,all of which is in violation of the BWC. Finally, the presentation will detail the repeated instances of the US sending live biological agents to multiple labs, domestically and internationally.

*ITHACA's presentation will take place during the time allotted for NGO presentations at the BWC, on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. *
