NATO Ambassadors are describing attacks in Syria as ‘genocide’ in response to chemical weapons use in the country, resulting in world leaders to identify a ‘need to respond’ and lay blame for the attacks.

In response a US-drafted UN Security Council investigation proposal was voted on, but vetoed by Russia as they presented their own resolution that was later rejected by the UN.  

Talks are continuing over international concerns on intervention as the world waits to see if the US responds with military action.
