It is a shame for the UN Security Council to start the new year by holding yet another meeting on the issue of Syrian chemical weapons without been provided any updates, Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy said on Thursday
The head of the international chemical weapons watchdog on Thursday told the UN Security Council that its experts have investigated 77 allegations against Syria, and concluded that in 17 cases chemical weapons were likely or definitely used.
Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Director-General Fernando Arias called it “a disturbing reality” that eight years after Syria joined the Chemical Weapons Convention, which bans the production or use of such weapons, many questions remain about its initial declaration of its weapons, stockpiles and precursors and its ongoing program.
The organization would be taking up a new issue at its next consultations
