What is Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare?

The Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare is observed on November 30, a date set in 2015 by the states that are party to the Chemical Weapons Convention. It honours those killed and injured by chemical weapons, from the gas attacks of the First World War to later attacks on soldiers and civilians. The Convention, in force since 1997, bans these weapons entirely, and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which oversees it, marks the day with ceremonies in The Hague.
