Law of War

Experts from Japan and China unearthed 31 Japanese bombs, including 7 chemical weapons, in Ning'an City in China's Heilongjiang Province. The recovery was carried out according to the 1997 UN Chemical Weapons Convention and a bilateral memorandum in which Japan agreed to provide all the necessary funds, equipment and personnel for the retrieval and destruction of all the chemical weapons abandoned by Japan in China by 2007. The Chinese Foreign Ministry estimated that Japan abandoned at least 2 million tons of chemical weapons in China. More than 2,000 Chinese people have been killed by abandoned chemical weapons since the war ended in 1945.
