Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: CCW Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons: genesis, history, and relevance. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

This webinar reviews the particularities of the historical and negotiation processes that led to the adoption of CCW Protocol IV, its relevance, and the lessons learned from these processes to explore the extent to which they could inform and guide ongoing and future developments within the CCW and other weapons-related treaties. The event is organized as part of the implementation of the EU Council decision (CFSP) 2021/1694 in support of the universalization, implementation and strengthening of the CCW, adopted in 2021, which supports inter alia discussions on underexplored issues related to the Convention.
