1. “My delegation categorically rejects the groundless accusations included in some statements and considers them as mere means of pressure and political blackmail. The use or threat of use by terrorist organizations of chemical weapons and toxic chemicals in Syria from 2013 until now has posed a real danger to the Syrian people and a serious challenge to the implementation of the non-proliferation regime, as represented by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).”

2. “Mr. Sabbagh (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to begin, Mr. President, by begging your indulgence in granting me sufficient time, as a relevant party concerned, to address the multiple aspects covered in the briefing by the Director-General and in other statements. It is unfortunate that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has been transformed from a technical organization into an instrument in a geopolitical game led by the United States and its Western allies. The unprecedented decision recently illegitimately taken by the OPCW Conference of the States Parties against Syria is clear evidence of the extent of the manipulation, politicization and pressure exerted by those countries within the organization.”
