The Fall of the Syrian Regime: The End of Chemical Warfare in Syria

Le résumé fourni par la source

The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on 8 December 2024 marked a historic turning point in Syria’s modern history, ending more than five decades of authoritarian rule and widespread human-rights violations. Central to this period was Syria’s longstanding chemical weapons program, which evolved from a regional deterrent to an instrument of mass repression during the civil war. This case report traces the development, deployment, and eventual dismantling of Syria’s chemical arsenal, examines the geopolitical factors leading to the collapse of the Assad government, and discusses the implications for regional stability, humanitarian recovery, and future chemical disarmament efforts under international supervision.
