524235 chemweapons_status_current_num   The variable identifies whether a country pursues, possesses, or has recently used chemical weapons, using information from Arms Control Association (2022), Nuclear Threat Initiative (2022), Center for Nonproliferation Studies (2008) and the UN (2022). A country is coded as having recently used chemical weapons if it did so in the previous ten years. A country is coded as pursuing chemical weapons if it is increasing its capabilities or has a dedicated program. A country is coded as possessing chemical weapons if it has weapons which it can deliver. 'Recent' means the country used or allegedly used them within the last decade. The variable also identifies when a country was alleged by another country of pursuing, possessing, or using chemical weapons, but these allegations have not been confirmed by the country itself or impartial observers. A country receives a score of 0 if it neither pursues nor possesses chemical weapons, a score of 1 if it allegedly pursues them, score of 2 if it possesses them, a score of 3 if it allegedly recently used them, and a score of 4 if it recently used them. 2022-09-05 12:05:28 2023-06-15 05:05:42       5679 26703
