BAN WELCOMES US-RUSSIA AGREEMENT ON SYRIA'S CHEMICAL WEAPONSNew York,
Sep 14 2013 11:00AMWelcoming the news that Russia and the United
States have reached an agreement on a framework for Syria to destroy
all of its chemical weapons, United Nations Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon has expressed the hope that the deal will pave the way for a
political solution to end the "appalling suffering" of the Syrian
people.

In a statement released by Mr. Ban's spokesperson in New York, the UN
chief welcomed the agreement reached by Russian Federation Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov and United States Secretary of State John Kerry
on the safeguarding and destruction of Syria's chemical weapons
stockpiles.

Announcement of the deal comes after three days of intense talks in
Geneva, Switzerland, between Mr. Lavrov and Mr. Kerry. It culminates a
week of diplomatic activity noted in the media, kicked off by the
earlier announcement of Russia's proposal for Damascus to surrender
its chemical weapons and place them under international control.

Then on Thursday, a UN spokesperson confirmed that the
Secretary-General had received a letter from the Syrian Government
informing him that President Bassar Al-Assad would sign and abide by
the 1992 Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production,
Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction.

In the meantime, evidence collected by a UN team probing possible
chemical weapons use in Syria on 21 August is being examined by
laboratories in Europe. The team, which the Secretary-General has said
is "working around the clock," is expected to submit its report to him
in due course.

In the statement issued today, Mr. Ban looks forward to learning more
of the framework agreed by Russia and the United States and pledges
the support of the United Nations in its implementation.

"The Secretary-General expresses his fervent hope that the agreement
will, first, prevent any future use of chemical weapons in Syria and,
second, help pave the path for a political solution to stop the
appalling suffering inflicted on the Syrian people," says the
statement.

As for talks on a political path out of the more than two year crisis,
United Nations-Arab League Joint Representative Lakhdar Brahimi has
been pressing ahead with his efforts towards the holding of a
long-proposed international peace conference on Syria, commonly
referred to as "Geneva II", after the Swiss city in which it would be
held.

Just yesterday, Mr. Brahimi hosted at UN Headquarters in Geneva talks
with Mr. Lavrov and Mr. Kerry on the convening of the conference. In
remarks to the press, the envoy said: "The work you are doing is
extremely important in itself […] but also important for all those
working with you to bring forward the Geneva conference successfully."
