The SJAC Weekly Update- October 2, 2013

"The Short and Long View: Documentation

for Accountability"

Recent days have seen a flurry

of activities that have the

potential to drive forward

accountability in Syria. The UN

Security Council passed

Resolution 2118 requiring the

destruction of Syrias chemical

weapons program, and there is

renewed interest in the possibility for a Geneva II. But the efforts currently

underway are unlikely to meet many Syrians hopes of accountability anytime

soon, an unfortunate reality that underscores the importance of documentation in

light of continuing urgent violations.

On September 27, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 2118, mandating

the destruction of Syrias chemical weapons. An advance UN team is already inDamascus discussing with Syrian officials how they can carry out the destruction

of the weapons. Their mission is supported, at least in word, by Syrian President

al-Assad, who spoke about the Chemical Weapons Convention in an interview

with Italys RAI News 24 TV, "Of course we have to comply. This is our history to

comply with every treaty we sign. Importantly, United Nations Secretary-General

Ban Ki-moon hailed the resolutions passage as the first hopeful news on Syria

in a long time, but said, even amid that important step, we must never forget

that the catalogue of horrors in Syria continues with bombs and tanks, grenades

and guns. He said the plan to eliminate Syrias chemical weapons was not a

license to kill with conventional weapons. (Image source: CSPAN)
