           UN Unanimously Approves Syria Chemical Weapons Resolution

   by Associated Press

    The U.N. Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution 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
   weapons attacks so the perpetrators can be brought to justice.

   The Security Council's vote on Friday came just two days after U.S.
   Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
   Lavrov reached agreement on the final text of the resolution. None of
   the 13 other council members raised objections.
