Syria seeks to join anti-chemical weapons coalition
Syria has requested to join the International Partnership against Impunity for the Use of Chemical Weapons, on the anniversary of the Ghouta Eastern and Moadamiyah attacks in Rural Damascus that occurred 13 years ago. The request was made in a joint statement with France, which launched the partnership in 2018 to address chemical weapons attacks in Syria. Syrian authorities announced the start of procedures to dismantle the legacy of chemical weapons, after previously agreeing to join the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and to surrender their stockpiles, amid allegations of using lethal gases against civilians, resulting in hundreds of deaths. The move aims to strengthen international accountability and deter the use of chemical weapons again.
