Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Fayssal Mikdad, stressed that some countries try to exploit the forum of the Conference on Disarmament to liquidate their accounts against states that do not share their hostile stances and policies.
Mikdad added that during the latest years,, those countries didn’t stop at impeding return of the conference to practice its role, but they have sought to undermine the credibility and role of the mechanisms which have been established according to agreements that have been negotiated in the conference.
Mikdad, in a speech via video before the high-level session of the conference on Disarmament, said that the politicization of the work of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has led to distance it from its tasks which were defined by the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and constituted a threat to its credibility and future.
He indicated that the US-western pressures on the technical secretariat aim at turning the organization into a tool to target a member state at the Convention and serve the geopolitical interests of the US, the only party in the convention which continues to possess chemical weapons since the World War II till now.
