We expect Georgia to fulfil its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention to ensure that any alleged breaches of the Convention's prohibitions on uses of toxic chemicals are properly investigated, Stephen Doughty, the UK Minister of State for Europe, North America and Overseas Territories, said in response to a question from a Member of the UK Parliament, Jessica Morden

In particular, when asked “how do you assess the allegations of the Georgian authorities’ use of bromobenzyl cyanide against demonstrators,” Doughty replied: “I was deeply concerned by the BBC report alleging that Georgian police used toxic chemicals against protesters in Tbilisi in late 2024.”

"We expect Georgia to fulfil its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention to ensure that any alleged breaches of the Convention's prohibitions on uses of toxic chemicals are properly investigated," Doughty responded.
