  Any case of alleged use of chemical weapons should be handled through the proper channel, in this instance it’s the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, based in The Hague, of which both Russia and Britain are members.
  The suspected/accused member state has the right to request
  access to full information available to the accusing member state and to the location where the chemical attack took place to enable experts to test it in accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention, under the supervision of OPCW (obviously!)
  The OPCW rules allow Britain in this case to send a request to Russia on the suspected Russian-made chemical weapon and expect a response within [B][U]10 days[/U][/B]. If the response is not satisfactory, Britain would have to file a complaint with the organization’s executive council and the conference of CWC member-states.
  Just look it up on the OPCW site, for goodness sake.
  What’s very interesting is that Britain has not (so far) addressed the relevant international body in The Hague (OPCW) but instead brought the case to the UN. Might they be concerned about a professional investigation?
