Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare:
The 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons in war. The Protocol was drawn up and signed at a conference which was held in Geneva under the auspices of the League of Nations... it entered into force on 8 February 1928.
Under the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 and by customary international law. Basic rules are included:
“The Protocol ‘outlaws indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations and destruction of food, water, and other materials needed for survival.’”
