A senior UN disarmament official, Adedeji Ebo, urged the Security Council to unite in dismantling Syria’s chemical weapons program, highlighting a “critical opportunity” for progress. Ebo noted ongoing cooperation between the new Syrian administration and the OPCW to clarify the extent of the previous regime’s program, which remains inadequately documented. While Russia criticized the OPCW for politicization, the US welcomed recent cooperation but acknowledged significant challenges remain. Ebo called for political support to ensure the success of these efforts.
