@UNCoISyria on Twitter, 18 Sep 2017 We have a duty to document the unambiguously illegal use of prohibited #chemicalweapons in violation of #internationallaw #HRC36 #Syria

This graphic (minus the yellow and red labels) was shown.

Analysis
24 incident/dates (31 incidents, some lumped).
 * perpetrator: Syrian Government (stated) = 15
 * perpetrator: Syrian Government (implied)= 2 (Ghouta, Khan al-Assal)
 * perpetrator: blank = 7
 * perpetrator: anyone rebel, even ISIS = 0

Paulo Pinheiro: 'We must continue to put Member States on notice regarding the crimes & violations the people of #Syria have endured' #HRC36 (same-day CoI tweet) Non-state actors are not the issue.

About their list:
 * 2012 attacks missing - several others missing - a better but still incomplete list up to early March, 2017 is here (CIWCL PDF)
 * In this even shorter span, and deliberately leaving off ISIS attacks, 138 reported incidents are tallied. 108 are attributed to Syrian forces, 1 to Russia, 27 attributed to opposition forces, and 2 events are clearly contested (with detailed stories, not general claims about "terrorists responsible"). 612 – 1,910 civilians were killed, 84 rebel fighters, at least 128-143 gov fighters. And most importantly, a total of 159 red flags, going towards the emergent picture in which ALL chemical incidents are the work of anti-government "terrorists."
 * All attacks by ISIS, usually with mustard gas and usually against Kurds, are left out here (as noted, left off the bigger list of 138 incidents).
 * Several attacks against Syrian forces are not included. But one (entry 1) is, implicitly blamed on the government.
 * 2015 chlorine attacks including Sarmin are not included. It's unclear if this is an oversight, or reflects some inability to pin them on the government.
 * Dec. 2016 alleged sarin attack by Russian forces near Uqrabiyat, Hama (ISIS-held) is left out. It was said nearly 100 people were killed. (Alleged Chemical Attack, December 12, 2016). Do civilians in ISIS territory not deserve protection? Are ISIS-linked claims not acceptable? If so, how can they draw such a clean line between Islamist claims they accept with no question and Islamist claims they doubt or ignore?

All 24 listed, chronological (their notes and ours, in progress)
 * 1) 3-19-2013 Khan Al-Assal, Aleppo. "chemical agents used bore same unique hallmarks as in Al-Ghouta" (see #5). So it was sarin, and apparently from Syrian military stocks, they say. ACLOS notes: SAA soldiers apparently targeted at their checkpoint - they and Shia civilians were killed, in this area recently re-taken from the rebels. Opposition eyewitness claims were a Syrian fighter jet, and then a Syrian SCUD missile, had accidentally delivered the unknown chemical. Russian tests showed sarin was used, an improvised sort, fired on a locally built rocket. Death toll: about 20, mostly adult civilians (parents and health workers). Dozens affected. Alleged chemical attack, March 19, 2013
 * 2) 3-19-2013 Ateibah, Damascus suburbs. "circumstances not specified" ACLOS notes: a regime rocket is blamed, releasing a black fluid with a foul smell. SOme fighters apparently affected, a displaced baby and three men of a likely Christian family (by name) were killed - samples said to test positive for sarin Alleged Chemical Attack in Damascus, March 19, 2013 See also What Happened on March 19, 2013?

 * 5) 8-21-2013 Al-Ghouta "sarin, well-planned indiscriminate attack targeting residential areas, causing mass casualties, perpetrators likely had access to Syrian military chemical weapons stockpile, and expertise and equipment to manipulate large amounts of chemical agent."
