Interessant document. Toont aan dat verschillende landen de getuigenis wel wilden horen, anderen hielden het tegen. Dan maar een statement voorlezen.

Ik zal de relevante passage hier dan maar even kopieren:
"
While we agree that the presidency of the Security Council should have the space to propose briefers, they must be relevant to and knowledgeable of the topic under discussion. Unfortunately, that is not the case for one of today’s briefers. Mr. Bustani is a distinguished diplomat, but given
his departure from the OPCW many years before it considered the Syria chemical weapons file, he is not in a position to provide relevant knowledge or information on the implementation of resolution 2118 (2013), unlike, for example, the current Director General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
"
"
I am honoured to have been invited to present a statement for this meeting of the Security Council to discuss the Syrian chemical dossier and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). As the OPCW’s first Director General, a position I held from 1997 to
2002, I naturally retain a keen interest in the evolution and fortunes of the
organization.
"
Met andere woorden. Rusland voert een voormalig hoofd van OCPW op, die daar al meer dan 15 jaar weg is (!), als zou hij relevante info kunnen aanreiken. Bovendien lijkt de man een beetje rancuneus, zo blijkt uit zijn statement:
"
or those who are not aware, I was removed from office, following a United States-orchestrated campaign in 2002, for — ironically — trying to uphold the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)
"
Connect the dots Bach...
