    United Nations S/2015/488 Security Council Distr.: General 15 July 2015 English Original: Arabic Identical letters dated 28 June 2015 from the Permanent Representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council On instructions from my Government, I should like to convey to you the position of the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic regarding the sixteenth report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014) (S/2015/468). At the outset, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic would like to reiterate the position that it has already conveyed in detail to both the Secretary- General and the President of the Security Council in previous identical letters regarding the implementation of Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014), and would like to stress the following points: 1. The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic would like to stress that, both in the present report and its annex and in previous reports, certain parties in the Secretariat persist in trying to sell inaccurate facts and figures. The latter have been exaggerated in order to bolster claims about the great success of so-called cross- border international assistance and to deceive the Security Council and member States in pursuit of certain interests. The facts point to the opposite conclusion, which those parties are trying to conceal from the Security Council and the international community. The numbers themselves are the best proof that that is the case.

In accordance with Executive Council decisions EC-M-48/DEC.1 (dated 4 February 2015) and EC-M-50/DEC.1 (dated 23 November 2015), as well as by United Nations Security Council resolution 2209 (2015), the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) has continued to study all available information relating to allegations of use of chemical weapons in Syria, including that provided by the Syrian Arab Republic as well as by others. 2. This summary provides an update on the Fact-Finding Mission’s activities in 2016 in accordance with the aforementioned Executive Council decisions, as well as United Nations Security Council resolution 2209 (2015). METHODOLOGY RELATED TO THE COLLECTION AND EVALUATION OF INFORMATION 3. As recommended by the Executive Council, the FFM has collected and studied all available information related to allegations of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic. This includes information provided in notes verbales by the Syrian Arab Republic, as well as other sources. 4. For each allegation of use, the FFM conducts an initial evaluation of the incident based on all available information. Each incident is then categorised using the following criteria: (a) High: There is significant information consistent with the use of chemicals as weapons. (b) Medium: There is some information lending credence to the possibility of the use of chemicals, but it is currently insufficient to make a confident assessment of consistency with the use of chemicals as weapons.

  • Syria/Russia: Incendiary Weapons Burn in Aleppo, Idlib
    AUGUST 16, 2016 12:00AM EDT Syria/Russia: Incendiary Weapons Burn in Aleppo, Idlib Increasing Attacks on Civilian Areas Since Joint Operation Began (Beirut) – The joint Syrian-Russian military operation has been using incendiary weapons, which burn their victims and start fires, in civilian areas of Syria in violation of international law, Human Rights Watch said today. Incendiary weapons have been used at least 18 times over the past six weeks, including in attacks on the opposition-held areas in the cities of Aleppo and Idlib on August 7, 2016. Countries meeting at the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) in Geneva on August 29, 2016 should condemn the use of air-dropped incendiary weapons in civilian areas of Syria in violation of the treaty’s Protocol III on incendiary weapons. They should encourage Syria to join the protocol and press Syria and Russia to immediately stop using incendiary weapons in civilian areas. They should also review the protocol and take steps to strengthen it. “The Syrian government and Russia should immediately stop attacking civilian areas with incendiary weapons,” said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. “These weapons inflict horrible injuries and excruciating pain, so all countries should condemn their use in civilian areas.” A Human Rights Watch review of photographs and videos recorded at the time of attack and of the remnants afterward indicates there were at least 18 incendiary weapon attacks on opposition-held areas in Aleppo and Idlib governorates between June 5 and August 10. At least 12 civilians were reported wounded by witnesses and first responders in five of these attacks.
