Mr. Park has previously served as the Bureau’s Senior Advisor on Bioterrorism. Before that, he was senior desk officer for the Chemical Weapons Convention, where he dealt, at various times, with verification of chemical industry, chemical weapons destruction, budget negotiations, and other matters. Prior to this, he spent two years in The Hague as a member of the U.S. Delegation to the Preparatory Commission for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). He got his start at the Department in the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, where he prepared guidance and served on delegations to a variety of major international organizations.
