Palau and Guatemala recently ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention and deposited their instruments of ratification with the United Nations.  Palau deposited on Feb. 3 and Guatemala on Feb. 12 (see GSN, Dec. 16, 2002).  When their accessions take effect 30 days after their deposits, the two will officially become 149th and 150th parties to the treaty (Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons release, Feb. 19).
