Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research conducted detailed analysis on the collaboration between the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the United Nations (UN) in dealing with the destruction of chemical weapons as well as in addressing their use in Syria and Libya. It becomes clear that the mutual collaborative relation of two international organizations features the cooperation and complement between the highly specialized one (OPCW) and the universal one (UN) that can take a legally binding resolution as well as consists of very complicated multi-layer of two policy-making organs and two secretariats.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国際機構の相互の協働関係という新しい論点を取り上げて、具体的な事例に基づく実証的な考察を試みた点に学術的な意義を認めることができる。とくに、その協働関係は相互連携かつ積極的な補完にとどまらず、消極的な補完も含めて展開を遂げていることが明らかになった。
化学兵器問題に着目すれば、東アジアには化学兵器禁止条約に参加しておらず、化学兵器の保有を疑われている国が存在している。シリアとリビアの事例は当該国が将来化学兵器を廃棄することになった場合に必ず参照されるものと考えられるところ、これらの事例をさまざまな観点から分析した点に社会的意義がある。
