Perang kimia

Perang kimia melibatkan penggunaan bahan-bahan beracun dari substansi-substansi kimia sebagai senjata kimia. Jenis perang ini berbeda dari perang nuklir dan perang biologi, yang secara bersama-sama disebut perang NBC, yaitu akronim militer untuk perang nuklir, biologi dan chemical/bahan kimia, semuanya dianggap "senjata pemusnah massal". Tidak ada satu pun dari senjata-senjata tersebut yang dikategorikan sebagai senjata konvensional yang biasanya efektif karena potensi destruktif mereka. Dengan peralatan, pelatihan dan tindakan dekontaminasi protektif, dampak-dampak utama senjata kimia dapat dikurangi. Beberapa negara mencekal bahan-bahan kimia yang dapat dijadikan senjata perang. Ancaman dan dugaan ancaman senjata kimia telah digunakan sebagai strategi untuk merencanakan tindakan dan tindakan balasan.

Pemakaian senjata kimia dilarang oleh adat hukum kemanusiaan internasional.^[1]
