Britain accuses ‘reckless Russia’ of breaking chemical arms ban
Britain accuses Russia of breaking the two-decade international ban on chemical weapons at emergency talks into last month’s poisoning with a nerve agent of a former Russian spy.
The accusations come as diplomats from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons met behind closed doors in The Hague to discuss the case.
Experts from the watchdog last week confirmed the British findings that former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter had been poisoned with a nerve agent.
“We will continue to call out Russia’s reckless and indiscriminate behavior when it violates the CWC (Chemical Weapons Convention), and when it threatens global security,” British ambassador Peter Wilson says.
