BWC: Review Conference Could End Quickly The chairman of the Fifth Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention — scheduled to begin next week in Geneva — plans to end the conference quickly without attempting to discuss a protocol to strengthen the treaty, a U.N. source said today (see GSN, Sept. 6). Hungarian Ambassador Tibor Toth plans to introduce his proposal to end the conference quickly after it begins Monday, the U.N. source said. Toth’s proposal also calls for a new review conference timetable, with shorter meetings to be held every year instead of every five years (Agence France-Presse, Nov.7). The BWC Fifth Review Conference was originally scheduled to run from Nov. 11 to Nov. 22 (Xinhua.net, Nov. 11).
