Syria – Political Dimension behind Chemical Weapons Disarmament

November 22, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The western and regional coalition deployed terror networks use of chemical weapons in Syria targeted civilians and Syrian defense force since crises onset.

Although the facts based evidences implicate Saudi Arabia as the provider with United States and western partners knowledge and consent in the chemical weapons attack, 

Washington and Moscow deal on this issue commissioned Syrian government for disarmament and not Saudi Arabia, Israel, United States or the terror operatives in possession of the arsenal until now. 

Turkish authorities apprehended al-Nusra Front terrorists found with sarin nerve gas generously used against innocent people in Syria.  The earlier and latest UN team reports along with Russian independent inquiry confirmed terror groups’ engagement in WMD resulting in Syrian massacre on each occasion.

Yet, Washington and Moscow pact on Syrian CW expedited the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and UN agency inspection and disposal of Syria’s stockpiles again ignoring western and regional sponsors WMD status despite their direct involvement in the genocide.

Washington threats with military intervention against Syria under WMD pretext had no credibility and accordingly confronted domestic and international dissent considering Iraq experience on world watch persists in terms of continuous unrest and bombings producing casualties on all sides notwithstanding economic liability for United States and western alliance.

Furthermore, Washington military option would have led to political upheaval for the administration and congress given public dissatisfaction and disapproval of overall performance.

Meanwhile Israel’s wish list comprising dismantling Syria’s biological inventory diligently complied with Washington and Moscow diplomatic maneuver optimizing Russia and Syria relations for swift and smooth removal of chemical agents from Syria leaving Israel, Saudi Arabia and other aggressors WMD intact regardless of legacy.

With no preconditions on Syria WMD surrender, Washington and Moscow bilateral enforcement on Syria is a decisive victory for Israel having been exempted from such requirement irrespective of proven track record on WMD abuse.

Not surprisingly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during recent visit to Moscow commending the success in disarming Syria’s chemical storage urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to apply similar strategy with Iran’s nuclear program.

In the absence of immediate ceasefire preventing loss of lives and infrastructure destruction including lifting economic sanctions in reciprocation to Syria’s CW renunciation,

The prevalent situation with procrastination on Geneva 2 conference exacerbates Syrian population suffering along side facilitating contagion effect on Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt…aimed at regional destabilization.

International rules set up for selective imposition on law abiding states while granting impunity to nations renowned for violations on general standards promotes inequality and injustice endangering global peace and security.

The contradictory practice lacking in fairness legitimizes illegality misleading the world with discriminatory policy and exceptionalism.

Life sustenance possible only upon universal implementation and adherence in WMD matter currently on the reverse trend with proliferation among nuclear powers excluded from any verification and accountability.

Finally, terminating terrorism with funding prohibition and arms embargo would exemplify sincere commitment towards peaceful resolution of Syrian turmoil.

Failure to proceed with Geneva 2 accord would clarify otherwise.

Wishing Syria triumph in purging terror.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
