In the Netherlands overnight, a British-led proposal will empower the international agency responsible for the control of chemical weapons to assign blame for attacks.
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons member states voted to allow the organisation to name organisations or states that it believes has used banned munitions.
The proposal received 82 votes for and 24 against, with Russia, Iran, Syria, and their allies opposing the motion.
Russia now openly questioned the future of the OPCW.
