Chemical Weapons are not considered WMD

Wrong: It depends on the specific chemical agent and the delivery device.
Some, not all, chem weapons are considered 'WMD'.

However ALL chem weapons fall under NBC restrictions and ALL are prohibited under the 1991 cease fire as well as numerous UNSC Resolutions. The fact that they exist, even if not in a ready use facility, constitutes a direct violation of the Cease Fire Agreement and invokes the 'serious consequence' clauses of the UNSC Resolutions.

Exactly...and just the term NBC (nuclear, biological and chemical) is the acronym used to describe the 3 classifications of WMDs...as defined by these conventions.
