As a way of promoting a culture of responsible conduct in the chemical sciences and to guard against the misuse of chemistry, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPWC) facilitated a project, begun in November 2014, to develop ethical guidelines for chemistry practitioners related to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Two workshops involving a group of more than 30 scientists and chemistry professionals from over 20 countries were organized to discuss and draft possible ethical guidelines for the practice of chemistry under the norms of the Convention. The workshops were held on 10-11 March and 17-18 September 2015 at OPCW Headquarters in The Hague and were chaired by Professor Alejandra Suárez of Argentina.
