The presentations from the 10th annual National Dialogue on Chemical Weapons Nonproliferation and Destruction held October 28-29, 2008 in Moscow, Russia have been translated and compiled in a new publication. The two-day “forum-dialogue” was organized by three national affiliates of Green Cross International – Green Cross Russia, Global Green USA, and Green Cross Switzerland as part of the international “Legacy” of the Cold War Program.

The presentations included in the publication cover a wide variety of related and important issues, including costs and schedules of destruction; financial support by Russia, the US, and other G-8 Global Partners; public health and environmental monitoring; state and regional regulations and permits; and citizen concerns. While not all-inclusive, this annual forum-dialogue is the one place where a reader can obtain a comprehensive overview of the many challenges involved in abolishing chemical weapons.
