FRANCE CALLS UPON SYRIA TO FULLY COOPERATE WITH THE OPCW [FR]

SYRIA
(CHEMICAL)

STATEMENT BY MR NICOLAS DE RIVIÈRE,
PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF FRANCE TO THE UNITED NATIONS

TO THE SECURITY COUNCIL
(translation from French)

New York, March 4, 2024

Mr. President,

I thank Mr. Ebo for his briefing.

The proliferation of chemical weapons constitutes a threat to international
peace and security. It continues to require vigilance on the part of this
Council.

In the last ten years, we have witnessed a worrying re-emergence of the use of
chemical weapons, in particular in Syria. France resolutely supports the work of
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to eliminate
these weapons, to document cases of use, to identify the perpetrators and to
ensure accountability.

France welcomes the latest report by the OPCW’s Investigation and Identification
Team (IIT), which concludes that Daesh was responsible for the chemical attack
perpetrated in Marea on September 1, 2015. The mustard gas dispersed that day
affected at least 11 people. This report, the result of considerable
investigative work conducted independently and impartially, establishes for the
first time the use of chemical weapons by a non-state actor.

France will continue to support the OPCW in its efforts to combat chemical
terrorism. In this regard, the existence of a framework for discussions on
chemical terrorism within the OPCW constitutes a useful platform for preparing
the response of all States to this sort of attack.

France also reaffirms its support for Security Council Resolution 1540, which
20th anniversary we will mark next month. This resolution is an essential
instrument for preventing non-state actors from gaining access to weapons of
mass destruction.

France condemns any use of chemical weapons, whenever, wherever, in any place,
by whomever and under any circumstances - be the perpetrators terrorist groups,
or States violating international commitments.
In this regards, let’s remember that the three previous reports of the
Investigative Team had demonstrated the responsibility of the Syrian regime in
chemical attacks committed in Latamné in 2017, in Saraqib and in Douma in 2018.

The Syrian regime has used chemical weapons against its own population,
including after it joined the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
in 2013, and after this Council unanimously adopted resolution 2118. Since then,
the Syrian regime should have renounced the use of these weapons and proceded to
the total destruction of its stockpiles.

Syria has not answered the remaining questions on the status of its chemical
weapons stockpiles. In his latest report, the Director General of the OPCW once
again points out that the declaration by the Syrian authorities still cannot be
considered as exact and complete, under the requirements of the Convention.

France once again calls upon Syria to fully cooperate with the OPCW, and to
comply with its obligations under the Convention. This is the condition for
Syria to regain its rights and privileges as a State Party, which were suspended
in 2021.
France remains fully committed to the fight for the complete elimination of
chemical weapons. It will continue to work with its partners and the OPCW to
ensure that the use of these inhuman weapons does not go unpunished.

Thank you.
