  1. “However, no real measures have been taken against those countries that have actually been party to transporting such toxic materials to the armed terrorist groups. The meeting rose at 5.50 pm.”

  2. “Among those comments, to name only a few, is the fact that neither report presents any real evidence that chemical weapons were actually used in the incidents in which my country was referred to. My country calls upon the Security Council to shoulder its responsibility to prevent weapons of mass destruction from falling into the hands of the armed terrorist groups in Syria, which have in many incidents used toxic chemical materials against civilians as well as the army of the Syrian Arab Republic. Those toxic materials had been infiltrated into Syria through the borders of neighbouring countries, particularly Turkey. We have informed the Security Council and its specialized committees about those and other incidents on many occasions.”

  3. “We would like to raise a question in that regard: Have those delegations paid sufficient attention and thoroughly read and analysed both reports, or did they simply skip to the pages of conclusions in order to serve their politicization of this file and attempts to use it in the context of their exploitation of the United Nations to attack the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic. As we have previously reaffirmed - and here we wish to address those delegations that heed only their own biased views and narrow minds - my country has extensive comments on the structural gaps in the JIM. reports, which we have submitted to the Security Council in two formal documents.”

  4. “However, all our efforts at the time were met by the threat of a United States veto. Ever since it acceded to membership of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the Syrian Arab Republic has been committed to all accession requirements and all resolutions of the OPCW Executive Council. We have met all our obligations, often prior to their deadlines. We have cooperated in all the joint work affiliated with the OPCW and the United Nations, as has been commended repeatedly by both organizations and public opinion worldwide. Some countries have sought today to fish in troubled waters by referring to the two reports of the Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM).”

  5. “Based on its conviction that the use of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, is unethical and to be rejected and condemned; on its firm support for efforts to declare the Middle East a zone free of all weapons of mass destruction, first and foremost nuclear weapons; and its desire to prove to the world at large that it is committed to standing up against any use of chemical weapons, the Syrian Arab Republic has acceded to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction. In 2003, when we were a non-permanent member of the Security Council, we sponsored a draft resolution declaring the Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons.”

  6. “Mr. Abdallah (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): The delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic fully supports the international trend towards building an international community free from the use or threat of use force, under the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and based on stability, peace and equality. We reaffirm our readiness to participate in any genuine, serious international effort of good will to achieve that objective, particularly with regard to preventing terrorists from possessing chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials.”
