The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is an intergovernmental organisation and the implementing body for the [[Chemical Weapons Convention]] (CWC), which entered into force on April 29, 1997. The organisation promotes and verifies the adherence to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the use of chemical weapons and requires their destruction. Verification consists both of evaluation of declarations by member states and onsite inspections. The OPCW, with its 193 member states, is based in [[The Hague]], [[Netherlands]] and oversees the global endeavour for the permanent and verifiable elimination of chemical weapons. The organisation was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in 2013.
