Syria chemical weapons inspections 'to begin next week' | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Experts from the world's chemical weapons watchdog will begin inspecting Syria's stockpile by Tuesday, a draft agreement says. | |
The draft also unusually authorities the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to investigate sites not declared by Damascus. | |
The text is due to be voted on at a meeting in The Hague later on Friday. | |
It will then be incorporated into a UN Security Council resolution calling on Syria to give up its chemical weapons. | |
The resolution will condemn the use of chemical weapons in an attack on the outskirts of Damascus last month which killed hundreds of people, but will not attribute blame. | |
If Syria fails to comply, a second resolution would be required to impose measures under Chapter VII of the UN charter, including the use of force. |
