Syria – UNSC Resolution 2118

September 29, 2013

By Padmini Arhant 

The UNSC unanimous resolution 2118 passed on September 27, 2013 on Syria’s chemical weapons based on unsubstantiated allegations against Syrian government and army with evidences implicating western powers and regional allies behind the August 21 chemical attack conclusively delegitimize UNSC as a credible committee to preside over international matter.

UNSC permanent members viz. United States, Britain, France, Russia and China in possession of substantial WMD including nuclear arsenal with western states among them having used these agents during illegal warfare are the obvious threat to humanity at large and the environment.

Again these members maintaining proliferation as their prerogative to enhance defense capability against each other disregard the rules they have set up as the international law confirming the inherently flawed system facilitating abuse of privileged status while dictating terms and conditions to the rest of the world.

The propaganda on averting possible military strike by United States due to U.S. and Russian agreement on Syrian chemical weapons disarmament is dismissal of public dissent and activism that led to lack of majority votes in the U.S. Congress in resonance with worldwide rejection of any military intervention against Syria.

Any decision to stampede republic will on Syria in pursuit of military option without a shadow of doubt cost political leaderships the career and further diminished United States role in world affairs.

In fact the U.S and Russia strategy rescued the administration and alliance from dilemma they had invited upon them in the cavalier approach to destabilize a sovereign nation. 

Nonetheless the UNSC resolution essentially scapegoat Syrian government through mandatory requirement on WMD surrender not barring Chapter 7 on non-compliance allowing the opponents of peace to indulge in protraction of the ongoing proxy war into direct confrontation even though the additional clause in this context predicate separate UNSC mandate.

Moreover, the UNSC failure to call for arms embargo accompanied by immediate ceasefire ending bloodshed attributed to western and coalition of the willing sponsorship of terrorism since 2011 and escalated up until now demonstrates apathy to victims suffering from incessant violence.

The diligence in scheduling UNSC meeting to disarm Syria in contrast with the procrastination on long overdue Geneva 2 accord apparently to be held sometime in mid November reveals the priority to advance sponsors agenda in the burgeoning crises.

Syria having come forward in accession to Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) ban treaty, the remaining states such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan along with United States and Russia leading the cause in WMD renunciation with transparency would exemplify veracity of UNSC members concern for civilian protection.

Unless genuine pact enforcing universal standards on all sides especially those constantly engaged in false flag operations with self-detrimental motives to spread terrorism across the region prevalent in neighboring Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey having transformed Libya into terror haven,

The tradition for sources behind terror to commit crimes with impunity would never cease.

Hence, the meaningful and effective solution to Syrian turmoil is to practice fairness, equality and ethics in recognition of Syrian sovereignty and self-determination rights rather than foreign imposition of change designed to subvert democracy and subjugate country extending throughout Middle East and the entire world.

Most importantly terminating violence with elimination of arms supply and funding to mercenaries and western backed insurgency is fundamental to the success of diplomacy and peace process. 

Wishing citizens in Syria the dawn of peace that guarantees stability and security to the nation then permeating world over.

Peace to all! 

Thank you.
