[Peace-discuss] OPCW Director-General on Allegations of Chemical Weapons Use in Douma, Syria

Mon Apr 9 13:24:54 UTC 2018

I guess if you lie about the CIA, then I expect I should be flattered if
you lie about me.  Not sure what you gain from spreading lies, but I guess
maybe you are too old to learn anything new.  I always viewed learning as a
life long process and since I actually know something about chemical
weapons, I have an interest in them.  I also have an interest in exposing
liars if they lie about me personally.

I have sent my full reply to Boyle to the expert quoted by ABC News, the
Editor of this publication in the UK.  I hope that I get a reply from him.

Novichok agents, however, are unusual for their strength, Gwynn Winfield, a
chemical weapons expert with the publication CBRNe World, told ABC News. He
said they required much larger doses of more complicated antidotes.

>> OPCW Director-General on Allegations of Chemical Weapons Use in Douma,
>> Syria
>> THE HAGUE, Netherlands — 9 April 2018 — The Director-General of
>> Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Ambassador
>> Ahmet Üzümcü, expressed his grave concern in response to the alleged
>> chemical weapons attack on 7 April in Douma, Syrian Arab Republic.
>>
>> The OPCW Situation Centre has been closely monitoring the incident and

>> (FFM) is in the process of gathering further information from all available
>> sources to establish whether chemical weapons were used. The FFM will
>> report its findings to States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention.
>> Background
>> The Chemical Weapons Convention comprehensively prohibits the use,
>> development, production, stockpiling and transfer of chemical weapons.
>>
>> In response to persistent allegations of chemical weapon attacks in
>> Syria, the OPCW Fact Finding Mission (FFM) was set up in 2014 “to establish
>> facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals, reportedly
>> chlorine, for hostile purposes in the Syrian Arab Republic”.  The FFM is
>> required to study available information relating to allegations of use of
>> chemical weapons in Syria, including information provided by the Syrian
>> Arab Republic and others.
>>
>> Since May 2014, the OPCW has deployed the FFM in numerous occasions to
>> the Syrian Arab Republic and outside of Syria and has kept States Parties
>> informed of its work. The FFM interviews witnesses and obtains samples and
>> physical evidence for analysis.
>>
>> In 2015, the OPCW Executive Council and the UN Security Council endorsed
>> the continual operation of the FFM.
>>
>> The FFM’s findings established the facts surrounding allegations of the
>> use of toxic chemicals as weapons in Syria and confirmed that chemical
>> weapons had been used. The FFM’s findings were the basis for the work of
>> the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM), an independent body
>> established by the UN Security Council (Resolution 2235, 7 August 2015).
>> The JIM’s purpose was to identify the perpetrators of the chemical weapon
>> attacks confirmed by the Fact Finding Mission. The JIM’s mandate expired in
>> December 2017.
>>
>> As the implementing body for the Chemical Weapons Convention, the OPCW
>> oversees the global endeavour to permanently and verifiably eliminate
>> chemical weapons. Since the Convention’s entry into force in 1997 – and
>> with its 192 States Parties – it is the most successful disarmament treaty
>> eliminating an entire class of weapons of mass destruction.
>>
>> Over ninety-six per cent of all chemical weapon stockpiles declared by
>> possessor States have been destroyed under OPCW verification. For its
>> extensive efforts in eliminating chemical weapons, the OPCW received the
>> 2013 Nobel Prize for Peace.
