OPCW reinstates Syria's voting rights five years after suspension.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) restored Syria's voting rights on Thursday, citing a "significant change in circumstances" following the 2024 ouster of Bashar al-Assad. The decision, adopted by consensus with 67 co-sponsors, recognizes the new Syrian government's cooperation on chemical weapons declarations and verification activities.
