United States Congratulates the Federated States of Micronesia for Acceding to the Biological Weapons Convention
The United States congratulates the Federated States of Micronesia, which deposited its instrument of accession to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) with the United States on July 12, 2024. As one of the treaty’s depositary governments, the United States recognizes and welcomes Micronesia’s important decision to join the more than 180 other BWC States Parties in advancing the goal of universalization.
The BWC is critical to international efforts to address the threat posed by biological weapons, whether in the hands of State or non-State actors. Maximizing its effectiveness requires all States become Parties and fully implement its obligations. We strongly urge all States not party to the BWC to join the Convention without delay.
