The United Nations Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is briefly described, highlighting the role of mass spectrometry in the verification provisions of the Convention. These include mechanisms for the monitoring of chemicals contained in "schedules', and the inspection of sites and facilities relevant to the CWC. The analysis of polar degradation products of chemical warfare agents by electrospray mass spectrometry is discussed, in particular, with respect to its potential application in the verification of the CWC.
