As report made headlines that Syria has destroyed its facilities for producing chemical weapons, the United States of America today praised the international chemical weapons inspectors for a job well done in unprecedented speed.
Secretary of State John Kerry said in a written statement that international chemical inspectors have worked with unprecedented speed to accomplish the first milestone in eliminating Syria’s chemical weapons and reducing the possibility that they will ever be used again.

The progress must continue
Secretary Kerry also underlines that it must also be crystal clear that eliminating Syria’s chemical weapons is not a substitute for ending the civil war nor does it end the humanitarian catastrophe that continues to unfold.
He says if weapons inspectors can carry out their critical mission, then there is no reason for aid workers to carry out their relevant mission delivering food and medical treatment to Syrians in need.
With regards to total elimination of chemical weapons, Secretary Kerry says that under the U.S.-Russia Framework, Secretary Kerry emphasizes that Syria must provide all UN and OPCW personnel unfettered access to any and all sites in order to fulfill their critical mission of verifying the full extent, and the eventual elimination, of Syria’s chemical weapons program.
He says Syria’s obligations are clear, and it will need to fully comply with the requirements established by UNSCR 2118 and the OPCW Executive Council’s decision.
