SYRIA: UN HUMAN RIGHTS INQUIRY CONTINUES, PANEL HAS 'NO CONCLUSIVE
FINDINGS' ON USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONSNew York, May 6 2013 2:00PMWith
its investigation continuing into violations of human rights in Syria,
an independent United Nations panel today said it has "no conclusive
findings" regarding the use of chemical weapons by any of the parties
to the conflict in the country.

In a statement, the International Commission of Inquiry on Syria said
it wished to clarify that is has not reached any final findings on the
use of chemical weapons and "as a result, the Commission is not in a
position to further comment on the allegations at this time."

Chairperson of the Commission, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, reminded all
parties to the conflict that "the use of chemical weapons is
prohibited in all circumstances under customary international
humanitarian law."

The Commission, which was created in August 2011, comprises Mr. Sergio
Pinheiro, Karen AbuZayd, Carla del Ponte and Vitit Muntarbhorn. It has
been mandated by the Geneva-based Human Rights Council to investigate
and record all violations of international human rights law during the
conflict in Syria.

The Commission is scheduled to issue its findings to the Council on 3 June.

Meanwhile, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon renewed his appeal last week
for unfettered access to Syria for a separate United Nations team
focused specifically on probing the alleged use of chemical weapons
during the conflict.

That fact-finding team, headed by Swedish scientist Åke Sellström, was
launched in late March following a formal request from the Syrian
Government. However, it has been on stand-by for a month, pending
authorized access from Syrian authorities. Mr. Sellström, according to
the Secretary-General's Spokesman, continues consultations with all
the parties, including all concerned Governments, to pursue his
investigation.

More than 70,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed, and some
3 million displaced since the uprising against President Bashar
al-Assad began in March 2011.May 6 2013 2:00PM
