Disappointment in The Hague as states fail to reach consensus on the final report & political declaration of the Chemical Weapons Convention’s milestone 5th Review Conference. 
Consensus agreement was not possible “due to the limited time available & context of current global affairs.” The Chemical Weapons Convention #RevCon5 will formally conclude on Friday afternoon.
Lack of formal agreement at the Chemical Weapons Convention Review Conference shows current fragile state of multilateral disarmament diplomacy & pitfalls of consensus decision-making which a handful of countries—sometimes just 1 military power—exploit
The Convention on Conventional Weapons aka #CCWUN is going thru the same dramas this week at @UNGeneva, on autonomous weapons systems aka #KillerRobots. New approaches, bold initiatives & inclusive ways of working are urgently needed.
