The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), a forum of 120 countries that are not formally
aligned with or against any major power bloc, has underscored that the existence
and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction continue to pose a significant
threat to international peace and security.

The 105th Executive Council of the States Parties of the Organisation for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) kicked off 5th March 2024 at the Hague,
Netherlands, with an Opening statement by the Director-General H.E. Fernando
Arias.

The Executive Council consists of 41 OPCW Member States that are elected by the
Conference of the States Parties and rotate every two years. The Council
supervises the activities of the Technical Secretariat and is responsible for
promoting the effective implementation of and compliance with the Convention.

Charge D’Affaires a.i. of Uganda, Brussels, Amb. Beatrice Pacunega Manano,
delivered a strong statement on behalf of the members of the Non-Aligned
Movement (NAM) which are States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention and
China at the OPCW Headquarters in the Hague.

Amb. Manano said that the NAM CWC States Parties and China continue to
underscore the importance for the OPCW and all States Parties to continue to
ensure the full, effective and non-discriminatory implementation of all
provisions of the Convention including the economic and technological
development of the States Parties, especially in the fields of International
Cooperation and Assistance.

She expressed regret by the NAM CWC and China that ever since the creation of a
Coordination Mechanism to revitalize existing facilitations, no meeting of this
Mechanism had been convened.

“We reiterate our call on the Chairperson of the Executive Council, in his role
as head of this Mechanism, to redouble efforts aimed at advancing the full and
effective implementation of all provisions of the CWC in a balanced and
non-discriminatory manner and to explore ways and means for the revitalization
of all facilitations, in line with the position paper of the NAM CWC States
Parties and China dated 4 October 2019”, she said.

Regarding disarmament, Amb. Manano said that the NAM CWC States Parties and
China reiterated their long-standing principled position toward the achievement
of general and complete disarmament, under strict and effective international
control, including the prohibition and elimination of all weapons of mass
destruction.

In this regard, the NAM underscored that the existence and proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction continue to pose a significant threat to
international peace and security.

“We further underline that full, effective and non-discriminatory implementation
of the Convention contributes to regional and international peace and security”,
said Manano.

Regarding the war in Gaza, she emphasized that the Israeli occupation’s actions
are prohibited under international law and require vigilance by international
organizations, including the OPCW. 

“The use of chemical weapons anywhere by anyone under any circumstances is
unacceptable. Accordingly, we request the technical secretariat to take on its
duty and monitor the situation in Palestine including any threats or actual use
by Israel, of toxic chemicals.”

In the NAM Statement, Amb. Manano said that the NAM CWC and China request that
the OPCW investigate any possible use of chemical weapons in Israel’s aggression
against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Furthermore, the Technical Secretariat should remain prepared to take
appropriate measures by the Convention if deemed necessary and to undertake a
prompt and effective response to investigate and react to such incidents in the
future.

The 105th session will adjourn on 8th March 2024.
