THE HISTORY OF PROHIBITION OF THE USE
OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS
IN INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW

Abstract. The prohibition of the use of chemical
weapons was first estabilished under the customary law rules to be later
on incorporated in international treaties. It was for a long time that
only use of chemical weapons was prohibited, but existence of that prohibiton
only proved to be insufficient. Because of that the Chemical Weapons Convention
of 1993 also includes, in addition to the prohibition of the use of chemical
weapons, a prohibition of their production, stockpiling and trasnfer as
well. Also, an obligation to destory the existing stocks of chemical weapons
was also established under the Convention. Such a wide circle of prohibitions
will make the struggle against chemical weapons more effective.
Key words: chemical weapons, use

ISTORIJA ZABRANE HEMIJSKOG ORUŽJA
U MEDJUNARODNOM HUMANITARNOM PRAVU
Zabrana hemijskog oružja najpre je bila ustanovljena
običajnim pravnim pravilima da bi kasnije bila inkorporisana u medjunarodne
ugvore. Ugovori su dugo vremena zabranjivali samo upotrebu hemijskog oružja,
ali se pokazalo da postojanje samo te zabrane nije dovoljno. Zbog toga
Konvencija o hemijskom oružju iz 1993. godine sadrži pored zabrane upotrebe
hemijskog oružja i zabranu njegove proizvodnje, skladištenja i transfera.
Takodje, Konvencijom je ustanovljena i obaveza uništavanja postojećih zaliha
hemijskog oružja. Ovako širok krug zabrana borbu protiv hemijskog oružja
učiniće mnogo efikasnijom.
