Title
Remembrance for Victims of Chemical Warfare ‘Timely’ (Press Release), SG/SM/14990 DC/3433 OBV/1211
Original Source
Note
The UN held a "Day of Remembrance for Victims of Chem Warfare." Syrian victims-to-be were hoping for more than premature remembrance. Instead, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon congratulated the organization for having "verifiably destroyed close to 80 per cent" of chemical warfare agents. A farcical spectacle of self-congratulation at exactly the same time that the world is on the edge of an unprecedented chemical weapons catastrophe, and the imminent threat of Al Qaeda et al acquiring Syria's stockpile.
