UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council is expected to unanimously approve a resolution Friday aimed at identifying those responsible for using chlorine and other chemical weapons in attacks in Syria that have killed and injured a growing number of civilians.
While Russia and the United States have failed to agree on a way to end the Syrian conflict, now in its fifth year, the have agreed on eliminating the country’s chemical weapons.
The draft resolution fills a gap in assigning blame for chemical weapon attacks so the perpetrators can be brought to justice.
The Security Council is scheduled to vote at 10 a.
