  1. “From that standpoint, we view the meeting proposed by the OPCW to be held in Beirut as a compromise. We hope that the Syrian authorities and the organization will reach consensus on it. We also hope that the meeting will indeed take place and pave the way to overcoming the outstanding issues. We also look forward to the meeting between Syria’s Foreign Minister and the Director-General of the OPCW, which we hope will be fruitful. Before I conclude, I would like to reiterate the need to use the time and resources of the Security Council wisely. That means holding meaningful meetings that go beyond the mere repetition of positions that are already well-known. It is our collective responsibility to reconsider the effectiveness of the Council’s meetings. We reiterate once again that we remain ready to hold any meeting if necessary.”

  2. “Mr. Al-Ali (United Arab Emirates) (spoke in Arabic): I thank Mrs. Izumi Nakamitsu for her briefing today. In the context of our meeting on the chemical weapons dossier in Syria, I would like to reiterate the United Arab Emirates firm position of explicitly rejecting and condemning the use of chemical weapons, under any circumstances, by anyone and anywhere. Their use constitutes a flagrant violation of the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention and international law. My country reaffirms the importance of constructive dialogue between the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the Syrian authorities to address outstanding issues. Communication through written correspondence alone will not achieve that objective.”
