New Delhi, Dec 02, 2025 (ANI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on December 01 warned that the threat of biological weapons and bioterrorism is no longer theoretical and urged the international community to modernise global biosecurity frameworks under the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC)."Misuse by non-state actors is no longer a distant possibility. Bioterrorism is a serious concern that the international community has to be adequately prepared for," Jaishankar said while addressing a two-day conference on '50 years of the Biological Weapons Convention: Strengthening Biosecurity for the Global South'. Pointing out critical structural inadequacies within the 50-year-old convention, the Minister noted that the BWC currently has "no compliance system, no permanent technical body and no mechanism to track new scientific developments."
