There is emerging evidence that the Turavia government under President Mourun and some non-state actors engaged in the Turavian conflict have resorted to the use of chemical weapons during the course of on-going hostilities. Turavia also holds a stockpile of biological weapons, and is believed to have a secret atomic weapons program that may have been converted to weapons use. What violations of international law, if any, are implicated by such chemical usage and by the potential usage of biological or nuclear weaponry? Does the use of any such weapons on one’s own population create a legal basis for military intervention in a UN member state?
