Calls for the creation of a Biological Arms Management Body headed in coordination with the International Science and Technology Center with the explicit aim to promote domestic transparency regarding biological weapons stockpiles and to readapt pre-existing facilities, funds, research and infrastructure aimed at the creation of biological weaponry to research facilities, aimed at disease orientated research. 11. Expresses the need for the creation of a watch list composed of countries that have either not signed the Biological Weapons Convention or the Chemical Weapons Convention, or have signed but not ratified the conventions; this will be done with the intention to closely monitor such countries with the purposes of: (a).
