Neutrality!!!

From the very beginning of the crisis in Syria, the UN and its affiliated bodies have been taking biased stands towards Syria.It is regrettable that the UN and its bodies have been subjugated by the US and its allies to be partner in the global conspiracy against Syria. In fact, the UN bodies have become one of the tools used by the enemies of Syria to press ahead with violence and bloodshed of Syrian people ignoring the brutal crimes committed by the armed terrorist groups against Syrian citizens. Some international organizations have failed to meet their duties and sometimes attempted to politicize their mandate to swerve it away from its humanitarian dimension.

 The recent report of the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism on Khan Sheikhoun incident is not neutral and not professional, and it built its false charges against Syria on the process of fabricating evidence and manipulating information.The report contains several contradictions, flaws, and gaps, and that it relied on insufficient evidence to reach a decision on what happened, in addition to it depending on information given by “opposition” groups that are linked with terrorists, including the White Helmets.How the Mechanism didn’t consider Khan Sheikhoun incident as a political issue. Since when is chemical terrorism considered a fully technical issue and not a political one. Some states’ governments claim that they adhere to ethics and they consider themselves as custodians of the provisions of international law and the UN Charter while at the same time they adopt policies that violate these noble moral principles and they exploit them to implement their destructive interference agendas. Some UN committees, such as the Joint Mechanism, which should be neutral, professional, and credible, have proven through their work that they are biased and politicized.The lack of neutrality and professionalism by the Joint Mechanism was crystal clear in its recent report. The mechanism said in its report that Syria didn’t hand it a report on the internal investigations on the incident of Khan Sheikhoun, while the truth is completely different.On August 16th, Syria handed the head of the mission a copy of the report made by the Syrian National Investigation Committee on Khan Sheikhoun incident.The report of the Joint Mechanism mentioned several times that Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists control Khan Sheikhoun city, including the site of the chemical incident, so how can they trust the evidence which has been planted and fabricated by the terrorists themselves and how can they trust that the evidence has not been tampered with? The report also mentioned that the Syrian Arab Army achieved decisive victories a day before the chemical incident and it advanced to reach the outskirts of Khan Sheikhoun, so why would it commit that crime with its well-known repercussions while the only beneficiary of that attack is Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists and the governments which level accusations at the Syrian Government?Why the fact-finding mission and the Joint Mechanism refused to visit Khan Sheikhoun, why they conducted a remote investigation while the UN Department of Safety and Security confirmed the possibility of visiting Khan Sheikhoun, and why didn’t the Joint Mechanism collect evidence from al- Shuairat Airbase which the US administration claimed to be the site from which the chemical attack was launched.The Mechanism didn’t exclude the possibility that the hole at the site of the incident was caused by the explosion of a handmade explosive device, yet the same time it says that it is confident that the hole was the result of an airborne shell.There are many contradictions in the report regarding the existence or non-existence of sarin in the samples analyzed by the Joint Mechanism.The contradictions are attributed in the report to a scenario of manipulation of evidence and information with the aim of accusing the Syrian government, similar to what happened when the US Administration exploited misleading conclusions to attack al-Shuairat Airbase.

This report and its fabricated results expose the states that support terrorism, as the scale of manipulation of facts and evidence in it is unprecedented, and brings to mind the false allegations made by former US State Secretary Colin Powell to justify the US attack on Iraq, which were later echoed by John Kerry in 2013 to justify attacking Syria.

Former Qatari Prime Minister Hamadbin Jassem, told the media  two weeks ago that this war on Syria was a joint plot with the Saudis, Turks, Americans, Israelis, and Jordanians, with Syria and its people becoming a victim over which hyenas fight.
