Wednesday in Qatar, the U.S. and Russia agreed to draft a resolution to investigate and find the parties behind Syria's 2013 chemical attack in Damascus, leaving 1,500 dead, almost a third of which were children.
The resolution was a joint agreement between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
The draft calls for Ban Ki-moon, the U.N. Security General, and Ahmet znc, Director General of the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, to establish a team to investigate the individual(s) responsible for the attack, according to Newsweek.
The 13 security other council members have received the review and none have objected as of yet, though a formal vote will take place on Friday, according to the Associated Press.
The U.S. and Russia have disagreed on how to end the conflict in Syria as a whole, but agree that the country's chemical weapon stockpile should be eliminated, although chlorine, a main component in the chemical weapons, is not an illegal substance.
Many critics believe that allowing Syria to remain in possession of Chlorine gives them the rudimentary ability to create more weapons of mass destruction, according to the New York Times.
President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and those loyal to him have been charged with dropping chlorine bombs by both the U.S. and its allies.
