Yad Vashem calls for world response to Syrian chemical attack

The chairman of the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum calls on the international community to take action against the use of chemical weapons, following the reported sarin gas attack in Syria.

Chairman Avner Shalev says “following World War II, the global community enacted universal principles and instituted international organizations with the express purpose of averting future crimes against humanity.”

He calls upon “world leaders and the global community to act now in order to put a stop to the atrocities and avert further suffering.”
