Sample Answer:
I don’t think countries should have the right to possess chemical and biological weapons. Let me explain why.
(negatives) First, countries use chemical and biological weapons as a threat against other countries. Which means, the threat of war is a constant fear for everyone around the world. It is also unfair for wealthy countries to be able to possess highly advanced weapons while many developing nations cannot afford weapons. Countries will also use chemical and biological weapons to threaten other countries with unfair and exploitative foreign policies. This might create a deeper cycle of wealth inequality and oppression.
(negatives) Moreover, using chemical and biological weapons will affect civilians and non-military areas as well. A country should be able to defend itself from threat, however protecting human rights is more important.
(in conclusion) In my opinion, there are no benefits for humanity if countries possess chemical or biological weapons. So I don’t think countries should have the right to have these weapons.
