I recently learned that Amb Ali Asghar Soltanieh was involved in Iran’s implementation of the CWC.

As it happens, his “cv”:www.g77.org/vienna/CV%20Ambassador%20Soltanieh.pdf confirms that he was “Secretary of the National Authority of the Chemical Weapons Convention” from 1997-99. Incidentally, he was also “Chief Negotiator, Additional Protocol to Biological Weapons Convention” from 1999-2002 – something else I didn’t know.

Not sure why I find this interesting, but there it is.
