Syria begins chemical weapons destruction after 10 years
For the first time in over ten years, Syria has begun the process of destroying chemical substances on its territory. Syria's UN envoy announced that Syrian forces have started destroying some of the chemicals that were found, as part of the verification procedures followed by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, with the aim of protecting the Syrian people from chemical weapon remnants and the threat of their use by non-aligned parties. This comes after the OPCW approved a resolution to destroy the remnants of the chemical weapons program from the previous regime era, following widespread accusations by the opposition of chemical attacks that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 civilians and injuries to tens of thousands.
