1. “We call on Syria and the OPCW to build on that experience by exploring new formats for high-level political dialogue, as well as for in-country activities by the technical teams. We believe that this would increase confidence on both sides. At the same time, closer cooperation is needed between the OPCW and the United Nations, since the ultimate instance for the attribution of responsibility is the Security Council. In conclusion, cooperation between Syria and the OPCW and between Syria and the United Nations remains the best hope for closing the so-called Syrian file and for preventing and deterring any future use of those abominable weapons.”

2. “While the report provides us with little new information, we are nevertheless encouraged by the fact that the reduced team that visited Syria early this year delivered its report to OPCW States parties at the end of last month. That visit and its subsequent report are important steps in rebuilding confidence between Syria and the OPCW. We hope that those steps can serve as a basis for further dialogue on a mutually acceptable arrangement for the return of the full Declaration Assessment Team (DAT) to Syria in the near future. The report on the limited in-country activities undertaken by the reduced DAT gives us hope that constructive thinking is still possible on the file.”

3. “Mr. Sénéchal de Goffredo (Brazil): At the outset, let me state that my delegation welcomes the decision by the League of Arab States to reinstate Syria as a member of that organization. I would like to thank High Representative Nakamitsu for her briefing today. Let me begin by reiterating that Brazil considers the use or threat of use of any weapon of mass destruction incompatible with international humanitarian law. We condemn the use of chemical weapons anywhere, by anyone and under any circumstances. The use of such weapons poses a threat to international peace and security and violates the Chemical Weapons Convention. We have closely studied the most recent report by the Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), dated 26 April (see S/2023/297).”
