1. “Japan once again calls on all Council members to urge the Syrian Government to fully comply with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and resolution 2118 (2013), including by completely dismantling its chemical-weapon programme. We should let the Council do its job before we witness another victim of chemical weapons in Syria.”

2. “Resolution 2118 (2013) also decided that Syria should cooperate fully with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and comply with all aspects of the OPCW Executive Council decision of 27 September 2013, including by accepting personnel designated by the OPCW or the United Nations and providing them with immediate and unfettered access to and the right to inspect any and all chemical-weapon sites. Nevertheless, as is described in the OPCW’s most recent monthly report (see S/2023/637), Syria has not provided any of the declarations or documents requested by the OPCW Technical Secretariat to enable it to resolve the outstanding issues. Syria’s refusal to issue a visa to the Declaration Assessment Team’s lead technical expert is another regrettable example of its non-cooperation with the OPCW.”

3. “Resolution 2118 (2013) prohibits Syria from using, developing, producing, otherwise acquiring, stockpiling or retaining chemical weapons. However, since then, on a total of nine occasions, independent, impartial expert bodies have repeatedly found that the Syrian Arab Republic was responsible for the use of chemical weapons. Regarding the horrific use of chemical weapons that occurred in Douma, Japan once again condemns the Syrian Government’s use of chemical weapons, as concluded in the third report of the Investigation and Identification Team.”

4. “As this is the first time I take the floor this month, I too would like to congratulate the United States on its successful presidency of the Security Council in August and to wish Albania all the best for this month. I would also like to thank Under- Secretary-General Nakamitsu, the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, for her detailed and insightful briefing. It is truly regrettable that we have not witnessed tangible progress on the Syria chemical-weapon file since our previous meeting on this issue (see S/PV.9372). In September 2013, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2118 (2013). As this month marks 10 years since its adoption, we would like to stress one simple thing. Syria should comply fully and faithfully with that resolution, and the Council should not remain silent about its non-compliance.”
