US and Russia Reject Rival Chemical Weapons Resolutions on Syria

Russia on Thursday vetoed a U.S.-sponsored Security Council resolution that would have extended the international probe into chemical weapons use in Syria.

Hours later, the council rejected a Russian-sponsored resolution after it failed to get the required nine-vote minimum for passage. The Russian proposal included changes to the mandate that the U.S. opposed.

This was the 10th time Russia vetoed a resolution on Syria.

Without passage, the mandate of the Joint Investigative Mechanism expires Thursday at midnight.

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said Thursday's veto "strikes a deep blow."

"By eliminating our ability to identify the attackers, Russia has undermined our ability to deter future attacks. [Syrian President Bashar al-] Assad and ISIS will no longer be on notice for the use of chemical weapons by Russia's actions today," Haley said, using an acronym for the militant group.
