Syria leads global effort to remove chemical weapons
Syria has launched an international initiative to destroy chemical weapons remnants and hold those responsible accountable, following increased transparency and broader cooperation with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and international partners. President Syrian Ahmad Sharif announced the destruction of 42 chemical bombs and the restoration of Syria’s rights within the organization, as new chemical materials—including munitions not previously mentioned—began to be destroyed. Additionally, 18 individuals connected to the program have been detained as part of Syria’s efforts to secure international sites and reduce the risk of chemical materials falling into the wrong hands, amid security challenges and repeated Israeli attacks that have hampered the destruction operations. These efforts aim for the complete elimination of Syrian chemical weapons, while strengthening accountability and prosecuting those who used them, to prevent their future use.
