The Strasbourg Agreement of 27 August 1675 is the first international agreement banning the use of chemical weapons . The treaty was signed between France and the Holy Roman Empire , and was created in response to the use of poisoned bullets . The use of this weaponry was preceded by Leonardo da Vinci 's invention of arsenic and sulfur -packed shells that can be fired against ships. These weapons had been used by Christoph Bernhard von Galen , Bishop of Munster , in the Siege of Groningen (1672) - thus provoking the Strasbourg Agreement between the belligerents of the Franco-Dutch War .
