Attributive decicions to identify perpetrators of CW use in Syria and create the IIIT in violation of the CWC, that were pushed through at the sessions of #OPCW governing bodies in 2018-21, inflict irreparable damage on the activity and authority of OPCW and integrity of the CWC. https://t.co/6sjxPQPhZt
#FirstCommittee We strongly reject baseless allegations against our country regarding the situation around A.Navalny. Repetitive empty "concerns" and "calls" of certain states only seek to distort the real state of affairs in the #OPCW and deliberately mislead the meber states. https://t.co/yZJCDgF1uF
#Nebenzia: The main source of disappointment is persistent attempts to politicize the work of the #OPCW, which bring us ever closer to dismantling one of the fundamental pillars of WMD non-proliferation regime. This is absolutely not what we aim for. https://t.co/4rBsddeRn7 https://t.co/pUzaZPGVdG
#Nebenzia: This year for the first time in the history of the OPCW, a sovereign state that faithfully complied with its obligations under #CWC was incapacitated as an OPCW member. It was a devastating blow against the reputation of #OPCW and the chemical non-proliferation regime. https://t.co/gU1x72EPQW
#Nebenzia: The Douma report and its falsification is an outrageous episode that some our colleagues in UNSC & the TS of #OPCW would have eagerly condemned to oblivion. All previous reports on other episodes of alleged CW use had featured same blatant discrepancies & manipulations https://t.co/DEw1YYRImU
#Nebenzia: Erosion of trust in #OPCW already assumed menacing proportions. TS of #OPCW “churns out” biased reports at the behest of certain countries, and that based on this, OPCW guiding bodies push through discriminatory decisions against responsible states-parties. @mfa_russia https://t.co/PdWn8MnzG7
#Nebenzia: The situation at the #OPCW has deteriorated so badly, that we cannot be sure if we will ever be able to get back to some “zero point” and improve it. In order to do so, the management of the OPCW would need courage to recognize and correct all mistakes it has made. https://t.co/QXAdAU4EPG
#Nebenzia: We remain seriously concerned over the TS of the #OPCW using faulty methodology that rests upon information from biased sources, first of all the notorious “White Helmets”, that had been collected remotely. This is a direct violation of the #CWC. @mfa_russia https://t.co/F9MEFjWYgq
#Polyanskiy: #Syria repeatedly claimed ready to host the DAT for 25th round of consultations. But the #OPCW TS postponed them on an apparently invalid & politicized pretext. Allegedly, due to non-issuance of a visa to one DAT member, the entire mission cannot perform its tasks. https://t.co/U0enDdSj3G
#Polyanskiy: The fact of ultimate elimination of #Syria’s chemical stockpiles was confirmed by the #OPCW Executive Council and the Conference of the States-Parties in 2016. Since then, the Council has received no science-based proofs of the opposite. @mfa_russia https://t.co/68phYvLbYf
#Polyanskiy: When overemphasizing the alleged “violations” of the #Syria|n authorities, the #UN Secretariat and the #OPCW Technical Secretariat basically soft-pedal the episodes of #terrorists using chemical weapons in Syria🇸🇾 and its neighbor-states. https://t.co/EDzuhiKDhX
#Polyanskiy: It's been 8 months since DG Arias last addressed the UNSC, during which time he was re-elected for a 2nd term. We'd want for him to share how he plans to improve the outrageous situation at the #OPCW that was caused by politicizing of the work of the Organization. https://t.co/Jkz8ud2q7w
