👉 The Committee on Weapons of Mass Destruction (COMMITWEAP) is a U.S. congressional committee established to oversee and regulate the development, testing, production, and export of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), including biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear weapons. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that U.S. policies align with international treaties and agreements, such as the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention. The committee conducts hearings, reviews reports from experts, and scrutinizes government actions to prevent proliferation and ensure that WMDs are not used or spread illegally. It also works closely with other agencies like the Department of Defense and the Department of State to develop and enforce regulations that mitigate risks associated with WMDs.
