Abstract

This course conclusion paper focuses on the role of the UN Security Council and the OPCW in the Syrian armed conflict, in particular from the episodes of chemical weapons use in the country. What measures could be taken by the Council to end the aforementioned civil war, as well as the consequences of its continued omission in this regard. The study is important because the conflict is already around nine years old and is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. It starts from the interpretative method of the provisions of the UN Charter, supported by bibliographic and documentary sources. The work is divided into four moments. In the first, the historical contextualization of the use of chemical weapons and their proscription in the context of armed conflicts will be presented. Then major agents already used in the Syrian war, with their causes and effects. The third is the history of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian War. The fourth, UN and OPAQ participation in the conflict. And finally, the prospect for solution of the Syrian conflict. The research concludes that even though the UN and OPAQ are striving for the withdrawal of chemical weapons in the conflict, various attacks still continue to be carried out by this type of weaponry, and that the UN Council's failure to end this war is maintained. civil law, probably some country will carry out unilateral intervention in Syria, which, in addition to being prohibited, could result in the deaths of numerous civilians.
