| The '''Tsabratan Convention''', known officially as the '''Convention for the Prohibition of Weapons of War Utilizing Biological Toxins, Radiological Materials or Noxious Chemicals''', is a comprehensive {{wp|treaty}} prohibiting the use, manufacture, and possession of {{wp|radiological weapons|radiological}}, {{wp|chemical weapons|chemical}} and {{wp|biological weapons}} in armed conflicts. The Convention also expanded protections for {{wp|prisoners of war}} and non-combatant forces based on previous treaties on international law. It was signed on 2 August 1990 in the city of Tsabratan, [[Tyreseia]]. The Convention's provisions are upheld by the [[Forum of Nations|Forum of Nations']] Conference for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation, and is considered part of {{wp|customary international law}}.
| |
|
| |
| The Tsabratan Convention prohibits any "weapons dispersing or otherwise carrying agents of biological toxin, bacteriology, virology, or other hazardous lifeforms... [and] chemicals or radioactive materials which act as liquids, gases, or particulates which asphyxiate, poison, intoxicate, inhibit the nervous system or otherwise create undue harm." The wording of this prohibition is deliberately broad, and is meant to include all forms of chemical and biological warfare within it. The Convention also prohibits any and all production or possession of these weapons. A number of nations negotiated and ratified the Convention; some other states, such as X and Y, have acceded to some of the articles of the Convention but with "reservations" on others.

| Biological warfare had been used since at least the medieval period, but regulations on its use only came much later. The topic of chemical and biological warfare became more contentious through successive conflicts in the 20th century, and previous international conferences had attempted to prohibit their use. The Kayatman Conference in the wake of the [[Hanaki War]] was the first such summit to attempt to rectify the issue, following extensive use of chemical weapons by the [[Republic of Jin|Jin Republic]]. However, the protocols arising from these summits often failed to resolve key issues, such as possession and procurement. Use against non-state actors and non-signatory states were also left ambiguous. In 1951, the Conference for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation was created as an arm of the Forum of Nations, though its initial scope and power was limited. Additionally, the advent of radiological weapons largely happened after existing bio-chemical warfare restrictions had been codified; as such, the regulations for CBR weapons were inconsistent.
| |
|
| |
| The two-year-long [[Ninvite War]] saw the use by both [[Charnea]] and [[Fahran]] of chemical weapons against state and non-state combatants alike. When the war's end was negotiated in 1987, there was a renewed impetus to broaden prohibitions on chemical weapons in warfare. The Tyreseian administration, represented by President of the Council of State Djudoru Abreu Mattan, proposed to host a conference on the issue in the coastal border city of Tsabratan. Mattan and the Council of State sought to increase Tyreseia's regional diplomatic clout as a [[Ajax#Scipia|Scipian]] peacemaker, and had felt slighted by the choice of the [[Alanahr|Anahri]] city of [[Kahrash]] as the location of the Ninvite War armistice negotiations. In addition, Tyreseian reporting on Ninvite war crimes had appalled the Tyreseian public, and the political salons were unusually united in demanding the Foreign Affairs Commissariat take action on the issue.

| | Publically, the Daoan government has maintained a policy of {{wp|Policy of deliberate ambiguity|strategic ambiguity}}, having never acknowledged nor denied its capabilities in the production, deployment, stockpiling and distribution of CBR weapons. Policy makers were concerned that signing for such a treaty, even in part, would end its strategic ambiguity.
