On Russia's Submission Of A Declaration Related To

Convention On Prohibition Of Biological Weapons To United Nations

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation

April 17, 2002

On April 15, Russia submitted to the UN a Declaration for 2001 on the facilities and biological activities of the Russian Federation related to the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons (BTWC). This information is required to be submitted to the UN annually by May 15 in accordance with the decision of the BTWC Third Review Conference.

Russia has thus once again demonstrated its adherence to compliance with the Convention and our striving to maintain a climate of mutual confidence among the BTWC Party States. We hope for the same approach from other Party States as well.
