  1. “My delegation once again expresses its support for the OPCW Technical Secretariat and its technical teams, which, despite countless obstacles, carry out their work in a professional, independent and impartial manner, while adhering to international standards. In conclusion, I stress once again Mexico’s unequivocal condemnation of the use of chemical weapons by any actor and under any circumstances.”

  2. “Although resolution 2118 (2013) expresses the need to bring those responsible for the use of chemical weapons to justice, progress on that matter still leaves much to be desired. In the absence of consensus in the Security Council to refer the case of Syria to the International Criminal Court, we encourage Member States to continue to support and finance the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism; the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic; the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission; and the Investigation and Identification Team. Maintaining and strengthening those avenues for accountability is the minimum that the victims of the chemical weapons attacks and their families deserve.”

  3. “The International Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare is held annually on 30 November. That occasion is an opportunity to honour the victims of such atrocities and at the same time to reaffirm the commitment to the total elimination of chemical weapons. In that regard, despite initial progress in the 2016 elimination of Syria’s declared chemical weapons stockpile, it is alarming that evidence gathered by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic shows that of a total of 38 confirmed attacks, 25 were in fact perpetrated after 2016. Moreover, they resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians and in thousands of casualties, as well as the displacement of entire communities.”

  4. “In addition, we note that the tripartite agreement signed by the United Nations Office for Project Services, the OPCW and Syria expires on 31 December. We call for the renewal of that agreement on an annual basis in order to facilitate the planning and budgetary programming necessary for the Technical Secretariat’s fulfilment of its mandate in Syria. My delegation also continues to follow the developments concerning the organization of a preliminary meeting to be held in Beirut and the progress towards confirming the date and agenda of the meeting to be held between Director-General Arias and Foreign Minister Mekdad. As Council members will recall, the Technical Secretariat sent an invitation to hold that meeting as early as June 2021.”

  5. “Mr. González Jiménez (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I thank High Representative Nakamitsu for her briefing. As we mentioned just two weeks ago (see S/PV.9164), the lack of progress on this dossier is regrettable. It goes without saying that the outstanding issues have not yet been resolved for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Technical Secretariat to consider the initial Syrian declaration that was concluded. Unfortunately, it is also not possible to establish that Syria has complied with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, to which it acceded in September 2013. Therefore, we reiterate the call, in accordance with resolution 2118 (2013), for the Syrian authorities to cooperate fully and in good faith with both the OPCW and its investigative teams.”
