Plan set to rid Syria of chemical arms / Horner, Daniel   Journal Article
Horner, Daniel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The UN Security Council on Sept. 27 unanimously adopted a plan for destroying Syria's chemical arsenal, endorsing a blueprint that the Executive Council of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had approved a few hours earlier. The actions by the 41-member Executive Council, which generally operates by consensus, and the 15-member Security Council establish timelines for the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons. The two councils were building on a framework agreement for control and elimination of Syria's arsenal concluded by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sept. 14 after days of intensive bilateral negotiations in Geneva. The two council decisions spell out ways in which the United Nations and the OPCW are to coordinate in overseeing Syria's chemical disarmament. The documents approved by the two councils cite Article VIII of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which says that the Executive Council should refer compliance issues "of particular gravity and urgency" to the Security Council. The OPCW is the international body that implements the CWC.

Questions on Syrian chemical arms persist / Horner, Daniel   Journal Article
Horner, Daniel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Efforts to resolve several issues arising from Syria's chemical weapons program appear to be moving slowly, even as the destruction of Syrian chemical weapons material aboard a U.S. ship in the Mediterranean Sea began this month. Officials from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and some of its key member states have highlighted the need for Syria to destroy its chemical weapons production facilities and resolve questions about its declaration of its arsenal last year. For months, Robert Mikulak, the U.S. ambassador to the OPCW, has been castigating Syria for its failure to destroy its 12 remaining former chemical weapons production facilities. Destruction of such facilities is a required step under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which Syria joined last fall. Under a timetable for chemical weapons destruction approved by the OPCW Executive Council last November, that task was to be completed by March 15.
