Syrias chemical weapons stockpile may finally be a thing of the past. After months of careful diplomacy, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is reporting that the last hundred tons of Syrias stockpile has been loaded onto ships to be shipped to a European site for destruction. In a statement to the press, OPCW hailed the successful elimination of the stockpile as a watershed moment in international relations. The mission to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons programme has been a major undertaking marked by an extraordinary international cooperation, said Ahmet Üzümcü, Director-General of the OPCW.
