Germany is among the powers which possess the ability to create nuclear weapons but has agreed not to do so (under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as reaffirmed by the Two Plus Four Treaty). Along with most other industrial nations, Germany produces components that can be used for creating deadly agents, chemical weapons, and other WMD. Alongside other companies from the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, India, The United States, Belgium, Spain, and Brazil, German companies provided Iraq with chemical agents needed to engage in chemical warfare during the Iran-Iraq war

German participation to aid Iraqi production of weapons of mass destruction

Two thousand Iranians who suffered from chemical warfare during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) submitted an indictment some years ago with a Tehran court against nine companies that had provided Saddam Hussein, then president of Iraq, with the deadly weapons. 455 American and European companies provided aid to Iraq during its war with Iran, and two thirds of the companies were German. The United Nations published a 12,000-page report about the conflict and named all the companies involved. An Iraqi special tribunal started trial of dictator Saddam Hussein after his fall. Iranian chemical victims were absent in the closed-door trial and the grievances of Iran's victims were not a part of the agenda in the tribunal.
