Dishonor Roll
The GenevaProtocol of 1925, which prohibits the use (but not the manufacture of stockpiling) of chemical weapons, has been defied for decades. Italy flouted the treaty by using mustard gas ruthlessly in its 1935-1936 conquest of Ethiopia. Japan used a wide variety of poison gases in its war against China(1937-45).
Egypt employed mustard gas with terrible effect in its war with Yemen(1963-67).
None of the offenders suffered political or economic consequences.
In virtually every case, chemical weapons were used in situations where they would have maximum effect-against unprotected troops and civilians-and in remote areas where it was difficult to make a solid, documented case against the offending nation. This is still true today. Reports that Cuba ahs used poison gas against the UNITA guerrillas in Angola have largely been ignored. One of the Afghan rebel commanders. Gen. Rahim Wardak, charged that Soviet chemical weapons “wiped out entire villages in northern Afghanistan.” Despite captured Soviet soldiers’ confessions of using chemical weapons and the presence of poison-gas detection kits on the bodies of Russian soldiers, Wardak says, “Nobody believed us.”
Because of this you-can-get-away-with-it atmosphere, notes former Pentagon official John G.Kester, who served on a blue-ribbon U.S. Presidential Chemical Warfare Review Commission, “countries whose scruples do not match ours simply have no present reason to give up weapons that can serve them so effectively.”

Free access to information about what the government is doing is a primary feature of an open society. In closed societies it may be hard to obtain any information about government operations. In the U. S. S. R, for example, it is nearly impossible to obtain accurate information about agriculture, industry, finance, or living standards. In contrast, the United States information is readily available except in the areas of national defense and foreign affairs, and even in these areas the level of information is much higher than in the U. S. S. R. and other closed societies.
