UN: ASSAD REGIME STILL NOT COOPERATING OVER CHEMICAL WEAPONS

Posted by Scott Lucas | Mar 7, 2024 | 0



WHITE HELMETS RESCUERS TREAT VICTIMS OF THE ASSAD REGIME’S SARIN ATTACK ON KHAN
SHEIKHOUN IN NORTHWEST SYRIA, APRIL 4, 2017



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




A SENIOR UN OFFICIAL HAS TOLD THE SECURITY COUNCIL THAT THE ASSAD REGIME —
HAVING CARRIED OUT MORE THAN 300 CHEMICAL ATTACKS IN ITS DEADLY REPRESSION OF
MASS PROTESTS SINCE 2013 — IS STILL NOT FULLY COOPERATING OVER THE SHUTDOWN OF
ITS CHEMICAL FACILITIES AND WEAPONS PROGRAMS.



Adedeji Ebo, the Director and Deputy to the UN High Representative for
Disarmament Affairs, said there has been some progress on Syria’s outstanding
issues. However, he noted that Damascus’ declaration on its chemical weapon
stockpiles is not accurate and complete.

Ebo said the declarations has unresolved gaps, inconsistencies, and
discrepancies found in assessments by the Organization for the Prohibition of
Chemical Weapons.

Since it was mandated in 2014 to investigate the chemical attacks — months after
the Assad regime killed at least 1,400 civilians with sarin near Damascus — the
OPCW has formally concluded that the Assad regime is responsible for a series of
assaults. They include the killing of about 90 people and wounding of hundreds
in Khan Sheikhoun in northwest Syria in an April 2017 sarin attack, and of 43
with chlorine in Douma near Damascus in April 2018.

Killing 43 Civilians

On February 22, the OPCW found “reasonable grounds” that the Islmaic State
deployed sulphur mustard gas during attacks in northern Syria in September 2015.

“The abSesence of accountability for the use of chemical weapons continues to be
a threat to international peace and security,” Ebo emphasized, urging the
Council to unite on the issue.

A series of delegations supported the OPCW’s work and urged the Assad regime to
resolve the outstanding issues. The Japanese representative summarized, “It is
our shared responsibility to hold accountable those who have used chemical
weapons and bring justice to the victims,” strongly opposing any attempt to
undermine the OPCW investigation.





The Assad regime’s ambassador insisted that it had fulfilled its obligations
with the destruction of its entire chemical stockpile. Russia, the essential
backer of the regime throughout its repression of protests, blustered that the
OPCW is a platform for Western countries to “advance their narrow mercantile
interests”. The delegate of Iran, which has also propped up Assad, declaring
that the application of the Chemical Weapons Convention had been “politicized”.
