The Impact of the Use of Biological Weapons in Warfare: COVID-19 as a Glimpse
Abstract
The Coronavirus has brought about a disruption in nearly every facet of life. The ease of the spread of the virus has made it even deadlier. The virus has been compared to the Black Plague, a disease that was said to have killed about a third of the world’s population. The Black Plague was spread by the Mongol Forces as a biological weapon into Ukraine causing a spread throughout Europe. The Coronavirus similarly has caused the death of millions throughout continents causing some to suspect that it is a biological weapon. This article explores the possibility that the Coronavirus is a biological weapon and the legal regime governing the use of biological weapons. The article ends by giving recommendations to prevent the use of biological weapons and punish the perpetrators of the use of biological weapons.
