| Comment: The Australia Group (AG) -- Formed in 1984 as a result of the use of chemical weapons in the Iran-Iraq war, the AG is an informal forum of states whose goal is to discourage and impede proliferation by harmonizing national export controls on CW precursor chemicals and manufacturing equipment, sharing information on target countries, and seeking other ways to curb the use of chemical weapons. It has since been expanded to include biological weapons. |
