Signing and ratifying the CWC commits countries to the verified destruction of all stockpiles of chemical weapons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iithete made these remarks during a two-day Regional Conference on Advancing National Implementation Legislation for the CWC, held in Windhoek.
