Résumé
Chemical weapons(CW), as weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield , made their debut in the First World War of the last century .To achieve total prohibition on CW , the international community concluded the Chemical Weapons Convention(CWC)in 1993, and it came into force in 1997.So far, only seven countries have been outside the CWC.The offensive and defensive pattern of the world changed then , and the world began to enter the post-CW era.A chemical terrorist attack perspective is needed in consideration of chemical threats facing the world .This article summarizes the experience on specific chemical attacks , analyzes the possibility , sources, types and developments of a chemical terror-ist attack, and puts forward countermeasures for any possible chemical terrorist attack .
Résumé
Owing to the globalization and the fast development of new technologies, new chemical threats are arising, and the strategies for the defense against them are in urgent need to be adapted to the changes. Taking historical events of chemical terrorist attacks as examples, and based on the three major constituents (agent, target and dissemination), we evaluate the key notes in chemical terrorism scenarios and briefly discuss the deficiency of the current countermeasures against contemporary chemical terrorism.
