Under the Geneva Conventions, parties to the Convention are prohibited from using Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). Article 23 of Additional Protocol I, which all signatories of the Geneva Conventions are obligated to follow, further clarifies that a Party is limited from undertaking any military preparations for an offensive campaign which involves using WMDs. Additionally, there are various international agreements and international law on WMDs that make it illegal for nations to acquire, possess or use such weapons.

The legality of creating weapons of mass destruction depends on the country in which they are being created and the terms outlined by international law. In general, creating any kind of weapons of mass destruction is considered a violation of the Geneva Conventions and other agreements that attempt to regulate their use. Countries that are signatories to these agreements should not create, possess or use weapons of mass destruction. Creating nuclear, biological or chemical weapons is also considered a crime under international law, so it is generally illegal for any state or non-state actor to do so.
