In 1925, 132 nations signed the Geneva Protocol, prohibiting chemical weapons and biological warfare. The survivors of the first World War realized that there are some weapons that must be unanimously prohibited by humanity, as they are so dangerous, so evil, and so antithetical to sustaining any form of life on this planet that they could only be used by the most evil of individuals or nations.
