general and traditional definition of a chemical weapon is a toxic
chemical contained in a delivery system, such as a bomb or shell.
The Convention defines chemical weapons much more generally. The term
chemical weapon is applied to any toxic chemical or its precursor that
can cause death, injury, temporary incapacitation or sensory irritation
through its chemical action. Munitions or other delivery devices
designed to deliver chemical weapons, whether filled or unfilled, are
also considered weapons themselves. -- Brief
