This was reported in the US Mission to the United Nations.

It is noted that the funds will go to an international, impartial and independent mechanism for investigating crimes in Syria, which could also help to bring to justice those responsible for the use of chemical weapons.

It is also noted that this is especially important in the light of the fact that Russia killed the Joint UN and OPCW mechanism.

Incidentally, more recently, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the UN, noting that the organization has become in fact a club of interests.

Recall, as previously reported by URA-Inform, experts of the OPCW for the first time in the last few years managed to prove the connection between the chemical weapons storage facility of the Syrian government troops and the chemical attack using sarin in the Guta oasis. It's no secret that the attack was near Damascus on August 21, 2013, which resulted in the deaths from 281 to 1729 people.
