Statement: Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare

Today, Peace Economy Project (PEP) joins the global community in honoring the victims of chemical warfare. This solemn day reminds us of the devastating human, environmental, and social toll inflicted by these heinous weapons of mass destruction. Chemical warfare leaves a legacy of unimaginable suffering—killing indiscriminately, leaving survivors with lifelong health complications, and ravaging entire communities.

The use of chemical weapons represents a profound violation of international law and humanity’s shared values. Despite significant progress in the global fight against these weapons, incidents of their use persist, demanding greater accountability and renewed international commitment to disarmament.

At PEP, we believe that peace begins with justice and accountability. We stand firmly against all forms of violence and advocate for the prevention of atrocities that harm innocent lives. Through our work, we emphasize the importance of reallocating resources away from military expenditures, including weapons of mass destruction, and toward investments in education, healthcare, and sustainable development.

On this Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare, we reaffirm our commitment to building a world free from violence and war. We call on global leaders to uphold the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), ensure strict enforcement of international laws, and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.

Together, we can honor the memory of victims by working toward a peaceful future—one where resources are used to nurture life, not destroy it. Join us in this mission. Advocate for peace. Demand accountability. Support a better tomorrow.
