Syria’s UN envoy says the OPCW and its teams are being manipulated by countries hostile to the incumbent Damascus government.

Syria’s deputy foreign minister says the Organization of Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has become a tool in the hands of the US and its allies.

A new report shows senior executives with the Organisation of Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) have privately praised a whistleblower who challenged its 2018 Syria report.

The OPCW’s cover-up scandal, under US pressure, of a Syria chemical weapons probe shows “the culture of lying has become so central to the Western narrative,” a former US Senate policy adviser and diplomat says.

In July 2018, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons released a report alleging that Syria had conducted a chemical attack against Douma.

Syria’s UN Ambassador Bashar al-Jaafari reiterates that his country is not in possession of chemical weapons and remains committed to cooperating with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

Jose Bustani was set to speak at the meeting over 2018 alleged gas attack in Syria’s Douma.

Jose Bustani's appearance at the UN Security Council to speak about a probe into an alleged 2018 chemical attack in Syria was blocked by Belgium, Germany, Estonia, France, the US and the UK.

Russia has denounced as “unacceptable” a recent statement by France and Germany over the alleged poisoning of Navalny, saying it amounts to “blackmail”.

The invitation came from the current president of the Council, Russia's representative Vassily Nebenzia, drawing immediate UK-led objection.
