OBS

By the second half of the 1960s the attention of the international community was already focused on chemical and biological weapons ... Most of the diplomatic work on chemical and biological weapons was conducted within the Eighteen Nations Disarmament Committee (ENDC), a body established in Geneva in 1961 with responsibility for conducting multilateral disarmament negotiations. The membership of this body was later enlarged several times, and its name was consequently changed, first to the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament (CCD), then to the Committee on Disarmament and, finally, to the Conference on Disarmament (CD).

OBS

In 1961, the Ten-Nation Committee on Disarmament, meeting at Geneva, became the Eighteen-Nation Disarmament Committee, and consideration of the test-ban issue was moved to that Committee in 1962.
