Security Council fails to adopt resolution on Syria sanctions

By Xinhua (China Daily) Updated: 2017-03-02 07:26

UNITED NATIONS - The UN Security Council on Tuesday failed to adopt a draft resolution aiming to impose sanctions over alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria as Russia and China vetoed it.

For the resolution drafted by the United Kingdom, France and the United States, nine council members voted in favor. Two veto-wielding powers Russia and China, along with Bolivia, voted against. Kazakhstan, Egypt, Ethiopia abstained.

If adopted, the draft resolution would have imposed asset freeze and travel bans on individuals and entities associated with the Syrian government based on allegations of chemical weapon attacks made by a joint probe of the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

The joint inquiry has concluded in its reports that the Syrian government was involved in the use of toxic chemicals as weapons in three cases, and the Islamic State had used mustard gas in one case.

Chinese Ambassador to the UN Liu Jieyi said investigations on the use of chemical weapons are still ongoing and "it is too early to reach a final conclusion."

He said the council should support the joint inquiry to carry out its investigations in a professional manner and make conclusions with accurate, detailed and solid evidence.

"We oppose the use of chemical weapons by any state, any organization and any individual under any circumstance," he added.

The vote came when a new round of intra-Syrian peace talks in Geneva is underway.

Russian Deputy Ambassador Vladimir Safronkov said the draft was put to a vote based on a doctrine of western states despite the efforts taken in Geneva to settle the Syrian crisis. "We see this as an attempt to retard and undermine the current political and diplomatic efforts," he said.

The draft resolution would also have banned supply of helicopters to the Syrian government. Safronkov said the measure would undermine counterterrorism as well as humanitarian relief efforts in the country.
