Chemist, boy

The Russian Foreign Ministry criticized the decision of the executive council of the organization to prohibit chemical weapons to send inspectors to Syria in order to control the compliance with the Convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons by the dictator Bashar al -Assad. The corresponding comment appeared on Saturday on the website of the department.

"As a result of a multi -route combination with the active use of the factor of" regional solidarity ", the group of member states managed to drag the anti -Syrian decision," the commentary said. This decision is approved on Smolenskaya Square, "based on unconvincing, essentially indictment to Damascus conclusions."

Recognizing that the OPCHU is “one of the most authoritative and successful organizations in the field of disarmament and non -proliferation of OMU (weapons of mass destruction. - Ed.)”, The Russian Foreign Ministry at the same time claims that now it is “the efforts of the well -known group of countries obsessed with the government change in Damascus, is turning into an instrument of political and economic pressure and blackmail.”

“Now we should expect a further increase in anti -Syrian manifestations both within the framework of the OPCO and in the UN Security Council,” the department predicts.

In its decision, adopted on November 11, the OPCW Executive Council demanded that the Assad regime ensure access to the inspectors of the international commission, formed OPCHU and the UN, and objects that evoke suspicions of experts. Inspections should be carried out twice a year; Their dates and objects are determined by the commission. Assad is obliged to provide all assistance to inspectors.

The immediate reason for the decision was the third and fourth reports of the commission submitted respectively in August and October . In the reports, the use of chlorine Assad in the settlements of Muhafazi Idlib was proved in 2014-2015.

The third report also reported on the use of Iprit by the Islamic State. In this regard, the Executive Council of the OPCO demanded to stop using chemical weapons from the IG.

In August 2013, after the next use of chemical weapons by Assad, the pressure on the dictator with the demand to destroy the chemical arsenal intensified. The United States warned that in case of refusal to fulfill this requirement on the positions of the Syrian government forces, a powerful blow would be dealt.

In September of the same year, Assad, under the pressure of Moscow, agreed to join the Convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons. Later in the same month, the UN Security Council approved the corresponding resolution, and in early October the destruction of the arsenal began. It was alleged that in January 2016 it was completed.

The UN Security Council noted that in case of Assad violation of the provisions of the Convention, sanctions may be applied to it in accordance with part 7 of the UN Charter. It provides for both financial and visa restrictions and the use of military force.
