GE.11-65262 (R) 2
The Conference urged all State Parties to refrain from supplying or transferring any
biological agents, toxins, equipment, materials and technologies to non-signatories.
(...) India
The Conference affirms the determination of States Parties to further strengthen na-
tional measures, as appropriate, to prevent non-state actors from developing, produc-
ing, stockpiling, or otherwise acquiring or retaining and using under any circum-
stances, biological agents and toxins, equipment, or means of delivery of biological
agents or toxins, for non-peaceful purposes.
(...) The Conference reaffirms the relevant mechanism established by Article VI
of the Convention and notes that the Secretary-General’s investigation mechanism,
set out in A/44/561 and endorsed by the General Assembly in its resolution 45/57,
represents an international institutional mechanism for investigating cases of alleged
use of biological or toxin weapons.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
The Conference recalls that use, in any way and under any circumstances, of such agents
or toxins that is not consistent with prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes is a
violation of the Convention. The Conference condemns any use of biological agents or toxins as
weapons in war, armed conflict, or for hostile purposes, including as tools of terrorism.
(...) The Conference considers the development and use of biological agents and toxins for
hostile purposes under any pretext and in any form as a violation of Article I of the Convention.

Recent advances in science and
technology have provided a range of new capabilities in this arena, including: different
approaches, such as through native air sampling techniques;23 research into in-building
early warning and response systems;24 partial prediction systems for normal disease events
based on satellite data;25 the identification of pre-clinical disease indicators, such as the
expression of switch-like genes;26 the use of engineered bacteria that glow when in the
presence of a biological stressor, such as a pathogen;27the use of membrane
immunofiltration analysis with visual sensors for tracking of pathogens and toxins;28 as well
as improvements in environmental detection of agents by nanowire sensors or by
immunographic methods.29
II. (...) There have also been advances in rapid diagnostic capabilities, which would also
enable a faster, more efficient and tailored response, including through: new approaches to
differentiate between bacterial and viral infections;33the use of real-time reverse
transcription PCR to genotype pathogens and identify reassortment events;34 the use of
Surface Enhanced Ramen Spectroscopy (SERS) to measure the change in frequency of a
near-infrared laser as it scatters off viral DNA or RNA allowing the identification of single
particles of pathogens or toxins;35 the real-time diagnosis of fungal pathogens through
Selected Ion Flow Tube-Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS);36 as well as the use of sequencing
capacity as a public health tool to identify causative agents as well as viral subtypes and
reassortment events.37 There have also been advances in developing faster assays for toxins,
such as for the Clostridium botulinum Neurotoxin Type A.38
III. (...) There have also been relevant advances in developing therapies to deal with toxins,
including: the identification of genetic sequences in hosts required for intoxication by ricin
and Pseudomonas exotoxin (offering treatment opportunities by blocking the functionality
of these genes);61 nanocarriers designed to allow toxins to be flushed from the system;62
nanoparticles designed to trap toxins and carry them to the liver for destruction;63
compounds designed to prevent the uptake of toxins into certain cell types, such as
botulinum toxin into nerve cells;64 as well as small binding agents designed to latch on to
toxins enabling them to be identified by antibodies, also allowing it to be flushed from the
system.65

REPORT OF THE MEETING
S 4/8
AM
Cuba Developed countries should promote international cooperation
for the benefit of developing countries and eliminate restric-
tions on the free exchange of equipment, materials and scien-
tific and technological information for the use of biological
agents and toxins for peaceful purposes. Avoiding obstacles
that hinder economic and technological development is an
obligation of States Parties.
(...) S 5/8
PM
United
Kingdom
… there is no such thing as a one-off state of ‘full implemen-
tation’ – progress and assistance are subject to a continuing
process given the nature of scientific and technological devel-
opment and the evolving nature of the threat posed by patho-
gens and toxins.
S 5/8
PM
United
Kingdom
We continue to see no need for any sort of Article X imple-
mentation mechanism as characterised in the various more or
less identical Working Papers and statements that we have
been seeing from some States Parties since 2006. (...) Briefly, some of the tasks identified in that Working
Paper are as follows:
(i) Identify and address the needs in terms of equipment, ma-
terials and scientific and technological information regarding
the use of the bacteriological and toxin agents for peaceful
purposes;
(ii) Identify and overcome the obstacles hampering the full,
effective and non-discriminatory implementation of Article X
of the Convention, including by addressing the denial cases of
States Parties;
(iii) Mobilize the necessary resources, including financial
resources, to facilitate the widest possible exchange of equip-
ment, material, and scientific and technological information
regarding the use of biological and toxin agents for peaceful
purposes, in particular from developed to developing States
Parties;
(iv) Facilitate the development of human resources in devel-
oping States Parties in the implementation of the Convention,
taking into account the special situation faced by them;
(v) Coordinate cooperation with other relevant international
and regional organizations for financial and technological
support of activities for the use of biological and toxin agents
for peaceful purposes.

REVISED POSSIBLE APPROACHES TO EDUCATION AND AWARENESS-RAISING AMONG LIFE SCIENTISTS /SUBMITTED BY AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, REPUBLIC OF KOREA AND SWITZERLAND (ON BEHALF OF THE JACKSNNZ), AND KENYA, SWEDEN, UKRAINE, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
With the aim of promoting BTWC awareness and
compliance in Canada, the objectives of this course are to develop a foundation of the
concepts of biosafety and biosecurity in the trainee such that increased awareness in regards
to the ethical, legal and social relevance of dual-use biosecurity, as well as the responsible
conduct of research can provide a foundation for the development of policies and
procedures to enhance responsibility and prevent the malicious or misuse of pathogens and
toxins.
11. This course will also assist in compliance promotion, and therefore, compliance with
those undertaking activities with human pathogens and toxins, within the sphere of
oversight of the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act (HPTA), one of Canada's primary tools
in BTWC compliance. (...) Since 2003 the UK has held five Biological & Toxin Weapons Convention-related
seminars for academics, research councils, professional and trade organisations, and the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. (...) The
University’s Education Module Resource (EMR) offers content that includes history and
national implementation of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, dual-use issues
in the contemporary life sciences, and responsible conduct in scientific research.
