Eliminating Syria's Chemical Weapons

Sigrid Kaag, special coordinator of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)-United Nations Joint Mission to eliminate the chemical weapons programme of the Syrian Arab Republic, talked about her experiences in eliminating the Syrian chemical weapons arsenal in the midst of a civil war. She discussed the roles Iran and other regional nations played in the process, as well as the use of technology in helping to overcome some of the challenges.

“Effective Multilateralism: The Experience of Chemical Weapons Elimination in Syria” was an event the Center for Security Studies held in Georgetown University’s Riggs Library. close
