Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This open-access volume consists of papers presented at the conference “Thirty Years of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC): Histories, Achievements, Challenges”, held in Berlin, 5–6 October 2023, as well as of additional contributions.
The volume’s twenty-two individual chapters reflect on the history and achievements of the CWC over the past thirty years and explore existing and future challenges as the world realigns itself with a new geopolitical and security environment amid ongoing conflicts in volatile regions such as Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Highlights of the volume include:
• Contributions by government officials, renowned scholars, and esteemed members of civil society.
• A keynote address by the former Director General of the implementing agency of the CWC, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), providing insights into the treaty’s evolution.
• A section examining the potential of the CWC as a model for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
