On Tuesday, Russia invoked Article VI of the Biological Weapons Convention in the United Nations, requiring a hearing in the Security Council in two days to debate establishing âa commission to investigate alleged violations of the convention prohibiting the production or use of biological weapons by Ukraine and the United States.â
Russian ambassador Vassily Nebenzia circulated a draft resolution ahead of a meeting set for today (Thursday), along with âa variety of documents and evidence that shed light on the true nature of military biological activities of the US and Ukraine on the Ukrainian territory.â
Iâm trying to find a copy of the draft resolution, and will brief you on it if I can timely get hold of one.
Moscow alleges that the U.S. and Ukraine conducted secretive, joint biological research on Ukrainian soil, and says it has unearthed incriminating evidence of those illegal activities during the ongoing special military operation. The Russian Defense Ministry has been gradually releasing some of those materials in batches since at least March.
Russia is proposing to amend the weapons convention, advocating for three main ideas to make the landmark international agreement stronger and to make it more legally binding on the parties. Russia is calling for negotiations on a âlegally binding protocol,â an âeffective verification mechanismâ and a âscientific advisory committeeâ within the group.
All of that sounds perfectly reasonable, if not immediately necessary, given what weâve all suffered through the last two years of lab-leaked viruses.
Russia also proposes making the control mechanisms more transparent, with additional âconfidence-building measures,â suggesting Convention participants must declare all their âactivities in the biological sphere outside their national territory.â
That also sounds like a great idea. Iâd be very interested in hearing from anyone who thinks they have an intelligent argument why we shouldnât immediately agree to the Russian proposals. And I wish the Republicans in Congress would advocate for more transparency over biolabs like Wuhan and whatever else we have going on in Eastern Europeâs crack house, I mean Ukraine.
