I now invite Council members to informal consultations, as requested by Sweden, to continue our discussion on the subject. The meeting rose at 7.05 pm.”

2. “I will now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Italy. Italy supported the draft resolution put forward by Japan (S/2017/970) and would like to thank the Japanese delegation for its effort. We have already affirmed many times, including in this Chamber yesterday, the importance we attach to the global non-proliferation architecture and to ensuring accountability for violations ofits norms. In our view, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons-United Nations Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) is a crucial tool in that regard, and we are not ready to simply accept that its existence is over. We are once again disappointed in the result ofthe vote. We have until midnight. Ifthere is even the slightest chance ofrenewing the JIM's mandate by then, we will work constructively to draft that last chance.”

9. “We believe that the draft resolution and the negotiations that led to it - and we thank the delegation of the United States for its continued efforts in that respect - embodied a willingness to find compromise and achieve common ground, meeting the concerns and principles expressed by all delegations. We are deeply disappointed, therefore, by the result of the voting today, as it deprives the international community of a crucial tool for fighting impunity for some of the most heinous and unacceptable crimes committed in Syria. The international community is now weaker, and our collective security architecture shakier, as a result of today's vote. But the outcome is difficult to accept.”

The draft resolution under consideration today (S/2017/962) was the result of an open negotiation in which Council members made a collective effort to strengthen the implementation of the JIM's mandate. A number of delegations suggested ways to ensure that the JIM. operates more effectively, and the draft resolution included a number of those suggestions. At the same time, as many of us requested, the draft resolution protected the Mechanism's independence, preserved the integrity of its mandate and upheld the credibility of its past investigations.”

11. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Italy. On six occasions, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons-United Nations Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) has certified the use of chemical weapons in Syria by the Syrian Government andDa'esh. Many other allegations are being investigated by the Fact-finding Mission of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in the Syrian Arab Republic. We believe that the Security Council has the responsibility to address that serious trend, upholding the integrity and credibility of the crucial long-standing norms of our collective security and preserving paths for accountability. Preventing the recurrence of violations should also be a common priority for all Council members.”
