«Η χρήση χημικών όπλων δεν μπορεί να είναι αποδεκτή υπό οιεσδήποτε συνθήκες. Δεν πρέπει να υπάρξει ατιμωρησία»
Η απόφαση του Αμερικανού προέδρου Μπαράκ Ομπάμα να ζητήσει την έγκριση του Κογκρέσου για πιθανή στρατιωτική δράση κατά της Συρίας, μπορεί να θεωρηθεί ως μέρος μιας προσπάθειας για διεθνή συναίνεση στην απάντηση στη χρήση χημικών όπλων οπουδήποτε, ανακοίνωσε σήμερα ο ΟΗΕ.Ο γενικός γραμματέας του διεθνούς οργανισμού Μπαν Κι-μουν θεωρεί την απόφαση του Ομπάμα ως «μέρος μιας προσπάθειας να επιτευχθεί ευρεία διεθνής συναίνεση για τα μέτρα που πρέπει να λαμβάνονται ως απάντηση σε οιαδήποτε χρήση χημικών όπλων», δήλωσε ο εκπρόσωπός του Μάρτιν Νεζίρκι.
«Η χρήση χημικών όπλων δεν μπορεί να είναι αποδεκτή υπό οιεσδήποτε συνθήκες.
Δεν πρέπει να υπάρξει ατιμωρησία και όποιοι διέπραξαν ένα τέτοιο τρομερό έγκλημα κατά της ανθρωπότητας πρέπει να λογοδοτήσουν», τόνισε ο Νεζίρκι.

Actions on Syria must be based on results of UN investigation, China's Foreign Ministry says...
ReplyDeleteBEIJING, September 2 (Itar-Tass) - The United States supplied to China data on the use of chemical weapons in Syria, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a briefing on Monday.
“China is against the use of chemical weapons by anybody and supports an independent, fair, objective and professional investigation conducted by the United Nations,” the diplomat said. “China constantly follows the developments in Syria and, as ever, believes that the Syrian question must be decided by political methods only,” he said.
“The PRC is seriously concerned over the fact that certain countries want to deal a unilateral military strike at Syria,” he said.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman noted that the international community, taking actions, must respect the United Nations Charter, the principles of that organization and the fundamental principles of international relations. The aggravation of the situation in Syria and further worsening of the situation in the Middle East should be avoided, he said.
“I do believe that any actions of the world community [regarding Syria] must be based on the results of the investigation into the use of chemical weapons, which must provide the answer as to whether chemical weapons were used in Syria and who used them,” Hong Lei said.

France accuses Syria of 3 chemical attacks, Assad slams Western logic...
ReplyDeleteAt least three chemical attacks were staged in Syria between April and August, a declassified French intelligence report claims, while President Bashar Assad said it was “illogical” for the government to launch a chemical weapons strike.
The declassified nine-page French intelligence report, issued by the country’s external and military services, suggests government forces loyal to President Assad were behind the attack, which took place on August 21 in eastern Ghouta, on the outskirts of Damascus.
The report alleges the strikes were directed from government-controlled areas to the east and west of Damascus and targeted rebel zones; the intelligence also describes "massive use of chemical agents" involved in the attack.
“Unlike previous attacks that used small amounts of chemicals and were aimed at terrorizing people, this attack was tactical and aimed at regaining territory," government sources commented to Reuters.
The source added that since then Assad’s forces had subsequently bombed the areas to erase evidence of strikes.
Moreover, the report alleges the Syrian government staged at least three chemical attacks since April, according to AFP, including those in the towns of Saraqib and Jobar in April. Those attacks appeared to have killed about 280 people.
The report was published on the websites of the French presidency, the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry at 5 pm Paris time (7 pm GMT).
"We are going to give the MPs everything we have – classified until now – to enable every one of them to take on board the reality of the unacceptable attack," French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Monday......http://rt.com/news/france-syria-chemical-report-324/

Assad warnt bei Angriff vor "regionalem Krieg"...
ReplyDeleteBei einem Militärangriff gegen Syrien würde das "Pulverfass" Naher Osten "explodieren", warnt Präsident Assad. Der BND hat offenbar auch Informationen über einen Giftgasangriff seitens Assads Truppen.
Syriens Staatschef Baschar al-Assad hat vor einem westlichen Militärangriff gegen sein Land und einem daraus folgenden "regionalen Krieg" gewarnt. Der Nahe Osten sei ein "Pulverfass", das bei einem solchen Angriff "explodieren" würde, sagte Assad der französischen Tageszeitung "Le Figaro" vom Dienstag. Es müsse nicht nur der "syrische Gegenschlag" als Reaktion auf westliche Angriffe beachtet werden, betonte Assad: "Alle werden die Kontrolle über die Situation verlieren, wenn das Pulverfass explodiert. Chaos und Extremismus werden sich ausbreiten. Es besteht das Risiko eines regionalen Krieges."....http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article119638808/Assad-warnt-bei-Angriff-vor-regionalem-Krieg.html

NATO Chief Urges Response to Syria’s Alleged Chemical Attacks....
ReplyDeleteBRUSSELS, September 2 (RIA Novosti) – NATO’s chief on Monday urged the international community to undertake a tough response to the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime.
“We need a firm international response in order to avoid that chemical attacks take place in the future. It would send a very, I would say, dangerous signal to dictators all over the world if we stand idle by and don't react,” Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told journalists.
US President Barack Obama said Saturday that his country was considering a “limited” attack in Syria. According to the United Nations, more than 100,000 people have already died in the two-year civil war.
The United States on Friday released a report saying Syria’s government was responsible for a chemical attack that purportedly killed hundreds of civilians in a Damascus suburb late last month. The Syrian regime has consistently denied the allegation.
Asked whether resolving the Syrian conflict was a priority task for NATO, Rasmussen said the alliance had “not been seeking a role in Syria. Our main focus is effective defense and protection of our ally, Turkey.”
Speaking about a possible military operation in Syria, the NATO chief said he would “envisage a very short, measured, targeted operation.”
“And you don't need the NATO command-and-control system to conduct such a short, measured, tailored, military operation,” he said, adding that a long-term solution would require a “political process.”
Rasmussen said the Syrian government was responsible for purported chemical attacks. “The way these chemical attacks were conducted points to regime responsibility,” he said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that Moscow, which has been Damascus’ most important ally during the civil war, denounced the use of chemical weapons and was ready for “consolidated participation in drafting measures to oppose such acts.”
However, on the same day, Putin slammed the United States, saying that Washington’s allegations about the Syrian regime’s use of chemical weapons against civilians were “unimaginable nonsense.”
On Monday, Putin backed an initiative by Russian lawmakers to establish dialogue with their US counterparts and resolve the Syria situation without the use of force.....http://en.rian.ru/politics/20130902/183126230/NATO-Chief-Urges-Response-to-Syrias-Alleged-Chemical-Attacks.html

Former UN head against military solution to Syrian conflict...
ReplyDeleteSTOCKHOLM, September 3 (Itar-Tass) - Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan opposes a military solution to the Syrian conflict. He made this statement delivering a lecture at Uppsala University on Monday evening.
According to Annan, the international community must stop the bloodshed, in order “to reach a political agreement and free the Syrians from the terror in which they live.” The politician believes that the international community had a chance to stop the civil war in Syria last summer. “Instead, the leaders began to quarrel and blame each other,” he stressed.
“Today, there is a debate that is necessary to punish those who had used chemical weapons in Syria. This is unacceptable and cruel. We need to deal with all those responsible,” Annan stated.

Chomsky: El ataque de EE.UU. contra Siria sería un crimen de guerra...
ReplyDeleteEl destacado académico, filósofo y lingüista estadounidense, Noam Chomsky, aseguró este martes que un ataque por parte de Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) a Siria, sin el apoyo de las Naciones Unidas, sería un crimen de guerra, independientemente de la aprobación del Congreso del país norteamericano.
"La agresión sin autorización de la ONU (Organización de Naciones Unidas) sería un crimen de guerra, y muy grave, eso está muy claro, a pesar de los esfuerzos forzados de apelar a otros delitos como precedentes", sostuvo Chomsky en un correo electrónico enviado al periódico The Huffington Post.
Asimismo, destacó que a medida que el apoyo internacional a la decisión del presidente de EE.UU., Barack Obama, de atacar a Siria se ha derrumbado, junto con la credibilidad de las afirmaciones del Gobierno, la Administración ha recurrido a un pretexto estándar para los crímenes de guerra cuando todo lo demás falla: "la credibilidad de las amenazas del policía autodesignado del mundo".
Mientras Obama sigue adelante con su campaña para tratar de recabar apoyos en el Congreso y conseguir la aprobación de la Cámara para atacar Siria....http://www.telesurtv.net/articulos/2013/09/03/chomsky-el-ataque-de-ee.uu.-contra-siria-seria-un-crimen-de-guerra-8304.html
