New York-Sana
Syria's permanent representative to the United Nations, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, reiterated the falsehood of the allegations propagated by some Western governments regarding the chemical file in Syria, stressing that Syria has fulfilled its obligations arising from its accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention and destroyed its entire stockpile since 2014, which requires closing this file permanently. .
Al-Jaafari said during a video session of the Security Council today on the situation in the Middle East: My delegation records its strong objection to the participation of the representative of the Turkish regime sponsoring terrorism in this session and reminds the members of the Council that the terrorist organizations would not have been able to carry out many of their crimes, including those that have taken place. By using chemical weapons, had it not been for the Erdogan regime's support for these organizations
The terrorist, which was confirmed by the Turkish media, starting with what was published by the newspaper "Yurt" in 2012 about the manufacture of toxic gases by terrorists in a laboratory in the city of Gaziantep, through reports related to the smuggling of sarin gas canisters from Libya through Turkish territory on board a civilian plane by the Turkish terrorist agent Haitham Al-Kassab and its handing over to terrorist organizations and other crimes that there is no room for listing.
Al-Jaafari explained that since the adoption of Security Council Resolution No. 2118 in September 2013, some members of the Council have continued to push for holding monthly sessions, up to now 84 formal sessions, without any goal or result other than seeking to blackmail Syria and its allies against the background of the chemical file, because the American, British and French governments do not She wants to acknowledge the fact established since June 2014 when the Head of the Joint Mission to Dispose of Chemical Weapons in Syria, Sigrid Kaag, presented her final report to the Security Council, in which she affirmed that Syria had committed and fulfilled all its commitments and destroyed its entire chemical stockpile on board an American ship, which was also confirmed by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons that All 27 production facilities have been destroyed and thus Syria has fulfilled its pledges letter and soul and no longer possesses any chemical weapons program or weapons since 2014, and this is the only certainty that must be counted.
Al-Jaafari indicated that the Security Council had closed the file of the so-called "Joint Investigation Mechanism" GIM in November of 2017 due to the false and unprofessional practices that marred the work of that mechanism as a result of pressures on its team from the United States, Britain and France in order to continue issuing reports Not objective and biased against Syria and accusing it of any cost in the heinous crimes of using chemicals against civilians as a means to defame Syria and justify hostile actions against it, pointing out that one of the GIM reports accused Syria of one of the incidents of using toxic chemicals, which is the "Khan Sheikhoun" incident. This is based on narratives and evaluations in which the technicians and experts of this mechanism used speculative and uncertain terms such as “It is possible ... there is a belief ... it may be ... probably no conclusive evidence” until the number of times those terms were used in that report thirty-two times alongside Conducting remote Hollywood investigations without visiting the crime scene and the failure of the authors of the aforementioned mechanism reports to provide evidence and scientific evidence with certainty regarding the validity and integrity of the chain of custody of evidence that was relied on in bringing false accusations against Syria.
Al-Jaafari addressed the members of the Security Council, saying: Let me remind you of that fateful day on which former US Secretary of State Colin Powell came to the Council and repeated the same uncertain term, “highly credible information” before his country's and British forces invaded Iraq in 2003, and then his colleague John Kerry repeated the same The misleading term before the Council against Syria regarding the Ghouta incident in August 2013 as if the sovereignty, integrity and territorial integrity of the member states are subject to uncertain presumptive terms used by this Western, international, or that official.
Al-Jaafari pointed out that it was believed at the time and after the termination of the "GIM" mandate that cutting the way to the unbalanced and unprofessional working methods that this "mechanism" followed would contribute to returning the General Secretariat and those responsible for this file to the correct path, but this unfortunate situation The office of the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs remained in the United Nations Secretariat and the Technical Secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons remained captive to the desires, whims and delinquency of hostile governments that are still living to this day in a state of hostile mania against Syria.
Al-Jaafari was surprised that high-ranking officials in the United Nations had not distanced themselves from themselves and their high and sensitive position, specifically Deputy Secretary-General and High Commissioner for Disarmament Affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu, who do not have the required level of independence and professionalism from the attempts to politicize the chemical file and keep it as a sword of arms over Syria and its allies as if they forget what the United States has done. And Britain in order to destroy a country like Iraq using the same misleading methods, indicating that Benamitsu should have dealt professionally and positively with the documented and accurate information that Syria provides to it about the possession and use of chemical materials and weapons by terrorist groups and to recall and imitate that honest historical experience of the United Nations Inspector Scott Ritter. Who worked in the framework of the team assigned to search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq "UNSCOM" and Hans Blix, who headed the United Nations team to search for alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction "UNMOVIC". These two UN officials refused at the time to submit to pressure and political blackmail practiced by the United States and Britain with the intention of justifying the invasion Military to Iraq when we announced that no evidence of and
The presence of weapons of mass destruction in that brother country.
Al-Jaafari stressed that Syria has fulfilled its obligations arising from its accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention, and has always been keen to cooperate positively, professionally and transparently with the Director-General of the Organization, the Technical Secretariat, the inspection teams, the declaration evaluation team and the fact-finding mission to implement its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention despite the great challenges resulting from the consequences of the two occupations. The American and Turkish authorities for parts of its territory and the provocative and hostile behavior adopted by some regional and international parties, in addition to imposing unilateral coercive measures against the Syrian people, once again Syria welcomes the declaration evaluation team to hold the 23 round of consultations, which were postponed by the Technical Secretariat as a result of the outbreak of the Corona epidemic with the aim of resolving all pending issues. Structured dialogue led to progress
A great work and Syria hopes that this file will be closed permanently, as the consultations on the outstanding issues have satiated with discussion, but the Western countries in the Security Council do not want to close this file because they have been using it for political blackmail for eight years now.
Al-Jaafari pointed out that Syria is still awaiting clear answers from the team about the information provided by the technical secretariat of the organization on June 22, 2020, about the leakage of samples collected by the team during the 22 round of consultations, which were present in the organization's laboratory, which is supposed to be qualified and working. According to the highest international scientific standards, stressing Syria's strong adherence to the principle of not confusing the mandates and competencies of the various international bodies and its rejection of any attempt to involve the Security Council in purely technical issues that are addressed by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. When the organization violated the text of the agreement and established a so-called "investigation and identification team" at the special session of the Conference of States Parties in June 2018, which is a non-consensual decision that was taken by an artificial majority and in the absence of representatives of 87 member states from voting.
Al-Jaafari reiterated Syria's assertion that the conclusions reached by the so-called "investigation and identification team" are not credible, have no legal basis, and are not realistic..and this is a categorically consistent assessment, and the member states of the organization and the Security Council know that this team based its false accusations against Syria on The basis for a report by the fact-finding mission that did not conduct a field visit to the “Al-Lataminah” area and conducted remote investigations from Turkish territory and in the absence of technically and legally approved standards to ensure the integrity of the custody of evidence in the process of collecting and preserving physical evidence, as well as the absence of a legal chain of custody of samples besides relying on Fabricated video clips and photos published on Internet pages or witness statements and open sources provided by terrorist groups and their media arm, the terrorist organization "White Helmets" and the fabricated information provided by the United States and Western countries, which are the governments originally involved in supporting terrorist groups in Syria .. Then the same scene and wrong practices are repeated In other incidents such as the "Khan Sheikhoun" incident, noting that Syria was the one that initiated the request of the former Secretary-General to form a scientific and objective investigation team to investigate the matter.
The use of a “chemical weapon” in the town of Khan Al-Asal on March 19, 2013.
Al-Jaafari stressed that the resolution rejected by Syria and adopted by the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons on the ninth of last July and based on a fabricated report that is unprofessional and does not contain any material evidence prepared by the so-called "investigation and identification team" will devote a methodology to work within the ban organization aimed at more Manipulating the provisions of the agreement according to the whims of some countries, which leads to the reinforcement of the state of division within the organization and gives the green light for terrorist groups to continue their terror and to carry out more fabricated chemical plays to accuse the Syrian Arab Army, noting that the aforementioned decision is politicized and targets a country that is a member of the agreement to achieve political goals and known agendas. The organization's work is politicized, which weakens its role and inflicts severe damage on its work and mandate.
Al-Jaafari indicated that Syria was and is still intending the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and its technical secretariat to become a tool used by some influential Western countries, but the reality of the situation, unfortunately, has produced negative examples and models in this field, including the fabricated report on the alleged incident in Douma 2018, in which all the data presented have been changed. It includes the experts who participated in the field visit of the "fact-finding mission" to Douma, pointing out that that report depicted the alleged Douma incident in the form of Hollywood, where a cylinder falls from the sky and collides with the roof of a house and does not explode and its body is not deformed and then lies on a bed without breaking the bed or the existing glassware No more than a meter from it.
Al-Jaafari expressed Syria’s astonishment at the efforts of the Technical Secretariat of the Prohibition Organization to delay the issuance of the “Fact Finding Mission” report regarding the Aleppo incident on November 24, 2018, despite the Syrian and Russian sides presenting all the information they have to the mission about that incident, which is information confirming the terrorist groups' use of chemical weapons. In that incident, however, the fact-finding mission's reluctance and reluctance to issue the report is still the master of the situation.
In response to the representative of the United States, Al-Jaafari said: The American envoy, John Rabyon, recently arrived in Turkey and met with Turkish intelligence officers and the "White Helmets" terrorists. He confirmed the American government's support for them and provided them with important and secret instructions about the intention to use chemical weapons in one of the areas of Idlib Governorate, which has a large number. Of the population, especially children, to be identified by the elements of the terrorist "White Helmets" organization, and it will be under the supervision of the Al-Nusra Front terrorist organization and Turkish intelligence. Toxic materials will be transported through food trucks and aid .. The information adds that 2,000 protective masks of chemicals and gases and 3000 were distributed. An injection on terrorists who are on the contact lines in the Jabal Al-Zawiya area, to be used during the supposed chemical strike.
Al-Jaafari concluded by saying: We in Syria are realistic and we believe in the justice of our cause and that this world is not a jungle in which the law of force is imposed instead of the force of law. Therefore, we and our friends will not allow there to be new iron boxes in the Security Council that are closed for a period of sixty years so that the world does not reveal the scandals committed by the states. When the United States and Britain fabricated the weapons of mass destruction file in Iraq to invade and destroy that brother country, then they went out with some hypocrites in the funeral of international law and the Charter to their final resting place in the cemetery of martyrs in Baghdad, along with the bodies of millions of innocent Iraqis.
