The undersigned Plenipotentiaries, on behalf of their respective Governments:

Considering that the use of suffocating, poisonous or other similar gases in war, as well as any similar liquids, substances and processes, has been justly condemned by the public opinion of the civilized world; and

In order to universally recognize this prohibition as incorporated into international law, which is equally binding on the conscience and practice of peoples.;

The High Contracting Parties will make every effort to encourage other States to accede to this Protocol. The Government of the French Republic will be notified of this accession, and all signatory and acceding Powers will be notified last. The accession will take place from the date of notification by the Government of the French Republic.

This Protocol, of which the French and English texts will be considered authentic, will be ratified as soon as possible. It will bear the date of this day.

The instrument of ratification of this Protocol will be transmitted to the Government of the French Republic, which will immediately notify each signatory or acceding Power of its acceptance.

The instruments of ratification or accession to this Protocol will be kept in the archives of the Government of the French Republic.
