As Hunter of Jahanna pointed out, what's the problem? Napalm is a conventional weapon, not a chemical one in the current sense of the term. Would you dub a flamethrower a chemical weapon? I guess not, and napalm is just a variation on the theme. It's not a pleasant way to die, but a bullet in your abdomen isn't either. Or a 20 mm A10 shell setting your tank afire.
I am not saying that I like this, but I cannot see what the fuss is all about.
Also, it has been banned for use against civilians, but I guess normal bombs are banned as well for that purpose. Or gunfire.
