Commemorative Envelope to Mark Ukraine’s CWC Membership

Ukraine considers the Chemical Weapon Convention and the OPCW as an example of effective implementation of a multilateral treaty on weapons of mass destruction disarmament and non-proliferation. Ukraine was among the original Signatory States to the CWC on 13 January 1993, and the Convention entered into force for the country on 15 November 1998.

At the request of the National Authority of Ukraine, the State Postal Service has issued a special envelope commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the CWC’s entry into force for Ukraine to raise awareness about the Convention at the national level, and to highlight that compliance with the CWC remains a priority for Ukraine’s arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation policy.
