"“Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria,” Donald Trump responded on Twitter. Dozens of chemical weapons attacks, largely using chlorine gas, are reported, yet fail to attract the international outrage and support they demand. Repeated indiscriminate use of other unconventional weapons in Syria vastly outweighs the use of chemical weapons in terms of destruction caused. The resolution established the joint UN Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), to confirm reports of the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons, and outline the elimination of the Syrian government’s chemical weapons. On Aug. 20, U.S. President Barack Obama made his famous red-line declaration regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
