ARK News: The Assad regime is responsible for countless atrocities, some amounting to war crimes, including the use of chemical weapons in Syria, the State Department said in a statement.

The statement added, which issued on Sunday on the anniversary of solidarity with the victims of chemical attacks, "unfortunately, there are places in the world where chemical weapons continue to be used with impunity. In Syria, Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons every year since Syria acceded to the Chemical Weapons Convention in 2013. Assad's use of chemical weapons must stop. ”

The Ministry expressed its support for the ongoing work of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in Syria, in particular, the establishment and work of the investigation team in charge of identifying the perpetrators of the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
