More than 160 countries are members of the treaty, including the world's largest possessors of chemical weapons, the United States and Russia. Only a handful of large countries, including Angola, North Korea, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and Syria, have yet to join.

What exactly is the Chemical Weapons Convention? Why is it that the US and Russia are members if we have chemical weapons? I seriously just don't know much about this and I wondering if anyone could explain.
