EUROPEAN COUNCIL PRESIDENT URGES SECURITY COUNCIL ACTION ON SYRIANew
York, Sep 25 2013 4:00PMA top official at the
<"http://gadebate.un.org/68/european-union">European Union pleaded
today for the Security Council to adopt a clear resolution on Syria
and end the "spiral of criminal, sectarian violence" at the heart of
"the world's most unstable region."

In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly's high-level
debate, Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council, said the
international community "absolutely must avoid a dreadful precedent
being set on the use of chemical weapons - an abhorrent crime against
humanity."

He called the role of the UN "indispensable" in the controlling and
destroying Syria's arsenal, underscored time and again by the 28
Governments of the European Union (EU).

"It is urgent for the Security Council, together with the Organization
for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), to take the necessary
decisions to ensure the swift and secure destruction of Syria's poison
gas and nerve agent stocks," Mr. Van Rompuy said, following UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's report and the inventory from the
Syrian Government.

The head of the European Council said that a breakthrough on chemical
weapons is an important political opening, "in the black wall of
Syria's doom, it will be a first crack."

He urged continued hard work towards the so-called Geneva II meeting,
which would include representatives of Syrian parties as well as
senior United States, Russian and UN officials.

"The European Union is ready to provide all support needed to achieve
a political settlement," said Mr. Van Rompuy. He noted, however, that
reconciliation is a long process. "No longer waging war is one thing,
living again together quite another."

Turning to the theme of this year's debate, the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) and the post-2015 sustainable development agenda, he
called the EU a "faithful development partner" who "would not draw
away from our responsibilities" around the world.

He stressed that it is at the UN that a "new impetus" must be given
for a development agenda.

In his speech, Mr. Van Rompuy also highlighted the improving economics
of European countries, noting that economic growth is expected in all
but one of the 28 countries.

"We are putting out house in order, and expect others to do so too,"
he said, adding that countries around the world need to correct
internal imbalances and pursue structural reforms.

Mr. Van Rompuy is among a host of leaders to speak at the annual
General Assembly session at which heads of State and Government and
other high-level officials will present their views and comments on
issues of individual national and international relevance.Sep 25 2013
