Overview
As Syria descended into civil war, what had once appeared unthinkable – that the government would use chemical weapons (CW) against its own people – became a horrifying reality. This marked the first time that a state had used CW since the Chemical Weapons Convention, a treaty that banned CW, was negotiated in the 1990s. The United States and its allies struggled with how to they should respond to this violation of the norm against chemical warfare.
