Mapping Syria’s Chemical Weapons Complex

This project aims to support the production of a comprehensive well-documented and publicly available compendium of all Syrian chemical weapons activities and attacks. Project activities include: (1) designing and publishing an interactive website to map the chemical weapons threat environment in Syria; (2) creating a podcast series that provides first-hand accounts of the use of chemical weapons in Syria; (3) developing a communication plan; and (4) providing direct assistance with attribution to key beneficiaries including the United Nations International Impartial and Independent Mechanism and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Investigation and Identification Team.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) strengthened international mechanisms to attribute chemical weapons attacks in Syria; and (2) strengthened response to disinformation related to chemical weapons use in Syria.
