'WE ARE WORKING EXTREMELY HARD' FOR POLITICAL SOLUTION TO SYRIA CRISIS
– UN-ARAB LEAGUE ENVOYNew York, Sep 6 2013 1:00PMThe Joint Special
Representative of the United Nations and the League of Arab States
today stressed that he and other senior diplomats were working
"extremely hard" bring Syrian an other concerned parties together for
a conference to find a political path out of the crisis in the
country.

Following a meeting initiated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov on the sidelines of the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Lakhdar
Brahimi <"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2976">said the
UN has been working hard to prepare for the so-called Geneva II
meeting, which would include representatives of Syrian parties as well
as senior United States, Russian and UN officials.

The goal of the conference would to be to achieve a political solution
to the conflict in Syria through a comprehensive agreement between the
Government and the opposition for the full implementation of the
Geneva communiqué of 30 June 2012.

Yet, he said, the fate of the conference was "in danger" because of
the alleged use of chemical weapons on the outskirts of Damascus, the
Syrian capital, on 21 August, "and what may follow as a consequence of
that."

"I have drawn attention to the participants of this meeting today to
the possible consequences…I think the United Nations [has no]
alternative but too continue to pay close attention to the situation
in Syria," Mr. Brahimi said.

The biomedical and environmental samples taken by the UN chemical
weapons inspection team from the alleged 21 August attack in the
Ghouta area outside Damascus are currently being analyzed in four
European laboratories. Scientists are working "around the clock" to
ensure a rapid result but one that also respects the highest
professional standards and without compromising its integrity.

Results of the analyses will be shared with Mr. Ban, who will then
share them with the 15-member Security Council and all 193 Member
States.

Mr. Brahimi warned that no country is allowed to take the law into its
own hands and urged that any action on Syria be taken to the Security
Council. "International law says that no country is allowed to take
the law into their hands; they have to go through the Security
Council," Mr. Brahimi stressed.

Mr. Ban had asked Mr. Brahimi to join him in Russia to push for a
political solution to the Syrian conflict.

Addressing world leaders at a working dinner last night, Mr. Ban urged
the leaders of the Permanent Five members of the Security Council –
China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and United States – as well as
from some of the Council's non-permanent members to "discharge their
responsibility fully and for the sake of the people of Syria."Sep 6
