Chemical weapons were used during the Syrian civil war. Just because something is banned doesn't mean someone won't use it.

- beebmam 9y agoI of course agree. But this isn't a serious argument against banning them. With a ban, there are legal routes that people can take to sue their governments to enforce the law. Unless you mean to imply the ban will be completely ineffective. I think that would be absurd thing to argue, as there are an uncountable number of instances where laws have been effective.

- beebmam 9y agoPlease refer to the link I posted. It's an actual international ban for all nations that sign it. Not the NNPT.
