Committee Description
The World Health Organization requires your participation in handling potential bioterrorist attacks. Historically, the use of biological agents dates back to the Roman Empire. However, with present day advancements in science and technology comes rising concerns about their adverse use. Bioterrorism is particularly dangerous, as it does not only result in human mortality, but also in the destruction of economies. The rising threat of bioterrorism must be handled because it, like all terrorism, knows no boundaries.
