Along with the release of the United States of America from the Convention, there was an incident of bioterrorism of anthrax bacteria or Amerithrax which occurred a week after the gripping historic event, namely 9/11. Through the release of the United States from the Convention, it disrupted the biological weapons regime, so that it had an impact on the security world in the 21st century with the real threat of biological weapons in sight, so that the international weapons policy order must also be taken into account with arms control and disarmament.
