Russia vetoes UNSC probe on chemical weapons use in Syria
2017-10-25
[PRESSTV] Russia has vetoed a United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Security Council resolution aimed at renewing a UN probe into the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria.

On Tuesday, two other UNSC members ‐ Russia and Bolivia ‐ also voted against the mandate, while China and Kazakhstan abstained from voting on the US-prepared document.

During this week, the UN-OPCW Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) is set to present a report on the alleged chemical attack on the Syrian town of Khan Shaykhun on April 4.
