UN to vote on Syria chemical weapons probe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN Security Council will vote on Friday on a draft resolution that would set up a panel to determine who is responsible for deadly chlorine gas attacks in Syria, diplomats say.
The vote was scheduled after US Secretary of State John Kerry won backing from Russia for the measure, in a rare sign of cooperation from the Damascus ally over how to address the conflict in Syria.
Under discussion for months, the US-drafted resolution will set up a team of experts who will identify the perpetrators of the chemical weapons attacks, paving the way for possible sanctions.
