The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) will organize a Global Training Course for BWC National Contact Points (NCPs).
The Global Training Course will take place at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, from 18 to 19 February 2026.
The Global Training Course will provide dedicated guidance to NCPs on the implementation of the BWC, including practical information and skills pertaining to the roles and responsibilities of NCPs and best practices in developing legislation, action plans, and preparing Confidence Building Measures (CBMs). The Regional Training Course has been designed by UNODA, with financial support from the European Union, as a dedicated capacity-building initiative in response to requests for support from NCPs relevant to their critical role in fulfilling their State's obligations under the Convention.
The Global Training Course is aimed at all national representatives or entities serving as BWC NCPs designated by their respective national authorities or who could potentially assume such responsibility.
Participation will be limited to one representative per State Party.
The event will be conducted in English.
