OPCW confirms progress in eliminating Syria‘s chemical weapons

(20.04.) The OPCW-UN Joint Mission in Syria confirmed yesterday that approximately 80 per cent of Syria‘s chemical weapons material has been removed or destroyed in-country. This development will contribute to meeting the 30 June 2014 target set by the OPCW Executive Council for the completion of Syria‘s entire chemical weapon programme.
