International inspectors discover undeclared chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria

International weapons experts have discovered dozens of previously undeclared chemical weapons in Syria, according to findings by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). The organization deployed a team to Syria in early May to verify the accuracy and completeness of Damascus's declaration regarding its chemical weapons stockpiles. The discovered chemicals and equipment are currently being analyzed by specialists. Syria was required to declare and destroy its chemical weapons arsenal under international agreements, making the discovery of undeclared stockpiles a significant breach of the country's commitments to the international community.
