OPCW holds Sessions of EC on a regular basis (now 3/year, 4/year in the past).
“Meetings” are inherently special, being unscheduled, typically in response to developing events and/or a specific request by a State Party.
This will be the 68th meeting since the #OPCW was established in 1997. #ChemicalWeaponsConvention
The Sixty-Eighth Meeting of the Executive Council
