- Chemical weapons watchdog reinstates Syria’s voting rights
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has reinstated Syria’s voting rights, citing its cooperation in destroying hidden chemical munitions. This decision follows a five-year suspension due to Syria’s past use of toxic gas and recent actions to dismantle remaining weapons under new leadership, including President Ahmad al-Sharaa. The U.S. also recently removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.
