I don't have a link, I read a pretty interesting analysis is that the only reason we have such treaties is because those weapons are ineffective against a 1st tier military and are also useless to them. Basically, defense is possible as the needed PPE is relatively cheap and can be used effectively by highly-trained troops, and high-tech conventional weapons used by a trained force are far more effective than gas.
So basically, those treaties were about giving up something advanced militaries would have abandoned anyway.
