Las armas químicas y biológicas siempre han evocado sentimientos de especial preocupación en los gobiernos, y esto explica que se hayan desarrollado esfuerzos enormes para su control y regulación. El más importante surgió después de la primera guerra mundial. Es el conocido como Protocolo de Ginebra, firmado en 1925, y en el que se prohíbe en guerra el uso de gases asfixiantes y venenosos, así como de líquidos y otros materiales y dispositivos parecidos. También se prohíbe el uso de métodos bacteriológicos en guerra. 1, record 2, Spanish, - qu%C3%ADmico%20y%20biol%C3%B3gico
