What are the international laws and treaties related to the prohibition of chemical weapons?

### REPLY:
The use of chemical weapons is governed by international laws and treaties such as the Geneva Protocol of 1925 and the Chemical Weapons Convention. These agreements outline the types of chemical agents and munitions that are prohibited, specify restrictions on production and stockpiling, and establish mechanisms for inspections and enforcement. Violations of these treaties can result in severe consequences, including international condemnation, economic sanctions, and military intervention.
