SECURITY
COUNCIL 1ST AND 2ND POSITION PAPER PARAGRAPHS.
Using
chemical weapons during the war in Syria cause severe problems in the world, as
well as for the government of Syria, as well as for its citizens and the
countries that border it. The United Nations blames Syria for several attacks
that have been caused in the same Syrian territory, being clear responses to
the rebellion of its citizens.
The
use of chemical weapons can be observed in the context of the Syrian Civil War.
On September 2013, a bill was filed to authorize the use of military force
against the Syrian military, mainly in response to the use of sarin in the
Goutha attack on August 2013. Later that month, the Sergey Lavrov Russian
foreign minister announced that Russia had suggested directly to Syria to
relinquish its chemical weapons. The Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Moalem
immediately welcomed the proposal. In September 2013 the Syrian government
entered into several international agreements for the destruction of its
chemical weapons that stipulated an initial destruction deadline of 30 June
2014, a deadline apparently achieved in respect of declared chemical weapons.
Prior to September 2013, the Syrian government had not publicly admitted to
possess chemical weapons, although Western intelligence services believed they
hold one of the world's largest stockpiles.
