No ‘military measures’ in Syria draft resolution
- Lavrov
A Syria resolution drafted by
Russia and the US and submitted to the UN Security Council does not suggest
immediate military action under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, Russia’s FM Lavrov
said. A vote on the measure could take place Friday evening.
The Council has begun
consultations on the draft and may vote on the resolution on Friday evening, as
soon as the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons makes its own
decision on the submitted draft, Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov might slightly extend his visit to New York to take part in the vote,
and his counterparts from the Security Council member states are considering
similar moves, Churkin added.
The resolution which was
submitted to the UN Security Council is fully in line with the Geneva framework
on the destruction of chemical weapons in Syria, Sergey Lavrov told the press
earlier on Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly's 68th session.
“There will be no enforcement
in line with Chapter 7,” he emphasized.
The draft resolution backs the
agreement reached in Geneva regarding Syria's commitment to place its chemical
weapons stockpile under international control. If there is any violation by any
party – as the resolution also calls on
the opposition to assist in the disarmament process – the Security Council will
convene again and will be ready to take enforcement measures in line with
Chapter 7, Lavrov said.
“We have finalized the draft
which will be submitted at the headquarters of the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the Hague any minute now," Lavrov said
in a short statement on Thursday evening. "We have also agreed on a
US-Russian draft resolution which will be submitted to the Security Council
later tonight.”
The draft resolution emphasizes
the need to rely on the professionalism of the OPCW experts and calls on the UN
Secretary General to assist the experts in the implementation of the reached
agreements. It further outlines the obligations the Syrian side should fulfill
as a member of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the party who invited the
international personnel to take control
of and ultimately destroy the country's
chemical weapons stockpiles, Lavrov said.
The UN Security Council is
expected to hold a closed-door consultation on the Syria draft resolution on
Thursday evening, representatives of the French UN mission told Reuters.
US envoy to the UN Samantha
Power also confirmed an agreement with Russia has been reached, elaborating
further that the draft resolution is “legally obligating Syria to give up
chemical weapons they used on their people.”
