Syria's declared chemical arms '100% destroyed'

20 Jan 16 - 02:18

The Hague (AFP) Jan 5, 2016
Syria's declared chemical weapons arsenal has been completely destroyed capping more than two years of work, the OPCW said Tuesday.
The OPCW has for months been warning of the continued use of mustard, sarin and chlorine gas in the brutal conflict. But it has avoided blaming either the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the rebels or the Islamic State group for the use of the weapons banned under international law.
The admission came after a sarin gas attack in August that year on rebel-held areas near Damascus. Hundreds of civilians were killed.
With the UN Security Council poised to discuss the chemical weapons issue on Tuesday, OPCW director general Ahmet Uzumcu said: "This process closes an important chapter in the elimination of Syria's chemical weapon programme." But he acknowledged the organisation based in The Hague was still continuing "efforts to clarify Syria's declaration and address ongoing use of toxic chemicals as weapons in that country."
In a separate report released Monday after being sent to the Security Council last week, the watchdog said it was investigating 11 incidents reported by the Syrian government in which people may have been exposed to sarin or sarin-like gas. "Further investigation would be necessary to determine when or under what circumstances such exposure might have occurred," the report said.
Previous fact-finding missions by the OPCW in Syria have pointed to the use of chlorine and mustard gas. Both the regime and the so-called Islamic State group have been accused of using chemical weapons in the war, although it remains unclear where the arms have come from.
