Well, bioterrorism is definitely illegal.

Are you sure every country on earth has a well defined law against bioterrorism? Especially that there no country in Africa that wants to develop bioweapons themselves and might use them in practice?

No island nation with isn't up to date with their laws to the 21st century?

I expect even your island nations have laws against murder that don't care what the murder weapon was.

The weapon industry who's tools kill millions in regions of crisis has plenty of people who are responsible for killing in Western nations with laws against murder don't get put into prison.

In the US I'm not allowed to build a killer virus and give it some criminal organisation to use because of bio-safety legislation. Other countries might not have laws against such practices.
