UN: Syria must answer chemical weapons queries

UN Flag

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Syria’s failure to answer questions from the international chemical weapons watchdog about its chemical weapons programme “remains a source of very deep concern.”

While the Syrian regime partially addressed some questions raised by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the UN chief said “other questions regrettably remain unanswered.”

In a letter circulated on Friday transmitting the OPCW’s latest report to the Security Council, Guterres said he continues to urge Syria to resolve all outstanding issues.
