Iraqi chemical weapons program
In violation of the
Geneva Protocol
of 1925, the
Iraqi Army
initiated two failed (1970–1974, 1974–1978) and one successful (1978–1991) offensive
chemical weapons
(CW) programs
.
President
Saddam Hussein
(1937–2006) pursued the most extensive chemical program during the
Iran–Iraq War
(1980–1988), when he waged
chemical warfare
against his foe. He also used chemicals in 1988 in the
Al-Anfal Campaign
against his civilian
Kurdish
population and during a
popular uprising in the south in 1991
.
