Fernando Arias, Director OPCWThe stated mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is to ensure a world free of chemical weapons. From his executive suite at The Hague, however,
OPCW Director General Fernando Arias has been on a different mission: keeping the organization free of accountability for an explosive Syria cover-up scandal, and trying to silence two veteran inspectors who blew the whistle.
Arias has refused to address the manipulation of the OPCW s probe into an alleged chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma. Back in April 2018, the US, UK and France accused Syria of dropping chlorine gas cylinders that killed dozens, and bombed the war-torn country in purported retaliation.
