and france, in this regard, would call on the international community to coalesce around a political transition in syria in accordance with resolution 2254 of the security council and geneva communique of 2012. france and its european partners will be tabling proposals in this regard. madam president, our responsibility is to history. every member of the security council and in particular russia must face up to all of their responsibilities and commit ourselves to seeking an urgent political solution. it is an urgent matter since we are talking about the security of the syrian people and the region, and also the effective fight against terrorism is at

stake. let's not forget. assad's syria is the strong as -- strongest generator for terrorism. thank you. >> thank you to the representative of france. now we will give the floor to the representative of china. >> thank you, madam president. the syrian conflict has led to large amounts of casualties of innocent civilians. china would like to be empathetic to the profound suffering of the syrian people. the present situation will not last any longer. fast actions have to be taken to resort to dialogue and consultation for appropriate solutions. to help the syrian people to lift themselves out of suffering and early date, to lead a peaceful and stable life at an early date, and help syrians rebuild the country and early date. china has been consistently

standing for dialogue and consultation to resolve international conflicts. what is needed is that all parties make effort to prevent the situation in syria from further deterioration. a solution is the only way out for the situation. military means will not work. it will only worsen the suffering of the syrian people so that the situation in syria and the region will be more complicated and turbulent, which is not at all in the common interest of syria, regional countries, or the international community. china urges all parties to persist firmly in diplomatic efforts and stick to a political solution for the syrian issue. step two, dialogue and consultation in a certain way and support the role of the united nations as the main mediation channel and the

efforts of the special envoy to syria to take forward the progress in the geneva talks. therefore, we can maintain the effort to maintain the momentum for a political solution. recent days have seen some complicated new situations appearing in certain areas of syria. the international community must remain highly alert to these relevant developments. we have to stick to uniform criteria in fighting against all terror organizations listed by the security council. thank you, madam president. >> thank you to the representative of china. now i give the floor to the representative of japan. >> madam president, i join others in expressing my sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the attack in stockholm. thank you very much, madam president. i will start again.

thank you very much, i join others in expressing my sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the attack in stockholm this morning and our solidarity with the people of sweden. now, turning to syria, the use of chemical weapons is not permissible under any circumstances. three days ago, we faced another shocking report that many innocent civilians became the victims of chemical weapons in syria. the act is extremely inhumane and violates relevant security council resolutions. the government of japan supports the determination of the united states government to never allow the spread and use of chemical weapons. we understand that the united states took the action last night in order to prevent further aggravation of the

situation. the council must reaffirm its determination to address the reported use of chemical weapons in idlib. japan once again urges you to expeditiously conduct an investigation and report conclusions as soon as possible so that the opcw/u.n. joint mechanism can conduct its own investigation to identify those responsible. madam president, in conclusion, japan reiterates its position that there is no military solution for syria and we must advance the political process based on security council resolution 2264. i thank you, madam president. >> thank you to the representative from japan. now we will give the floor to the representative of the

russian federation. >> madam president, first of all, the permanent representative of sweden, please accept our deep condolences on the tragedy that took place in stockholm. on the night of the seventh of april, the united states attacked the territory of sovereign syria. we describe that attack as a flagrant violation of international law and act of aggression. we strongly condemn the illegitimate actions by the u.s. the consequences of this for regional and international stability could be extremely serious. this attack was a flagrant violation of the 2015 memorandum on preventing incidents and

ensuring security during our operations in syrian airspace, and the ministry of defense of russia has stopped its cooperation with pentagon under that memorandum. of recent times, the united states administration has often talked about the need to combat international terrorism. and this justified american troops and their allies being present on syrian territory, although they were there without indication of the legitimate -- invitation of the legitimate government of syria without the approval of the security council of the united nations. manipulating articles of the united nations' charter beyond any criticism. the aggression by the u.s. has only facilitated the strengthening of terrorism. the attack came against syrian

armed forces infrastructure and its air force. that is, against those who for all these years have been combating terrorism. it is not difficult to imagine how much the spirits of these terrorists have been raised after the support from washington. immediately after the attack, there were massive attacks by isil against syrian military sites. once again, we repeat -- and once again, we repeat, that the syrian armed forces will continue to be the main antiterrorist institute of the syrian arab republic. who will fight against terrorism? these illegal armed groups who come to syria in hundreds of

thousands? you have destroyed the iraqi military, libyan military bases, see what happened. these actions contradict international decisions, including the geneva communique which we designed together with you. and there it says, it talks about settlement while maintaining national institutions. is that the sort of international institutions you are supporting? the russian federation from the united nations organization has stated the need to establish an international coalition to counteract terrorism which would be on the basis of international law. and on many occasions, we have sent signals to washington of our readiness to undertake such cooperation. as we see it, you have chosen a different path. we must recall when you take

your own path that this leads to horrible tragedies for countries in the region and the people living there. think of the consequences. remember what you have produced in the middle east. think of your steps and how they have impacted on the political settlement process in syria. now today's appeal to move forward the political process, they are hypocritical. after this military attack unfortunately. now on the geneva tracks over recent days, there have been clear progress. what aims guided you when you undermined this progress?

and the progress achieved was not thanks to you at all. now returning to the history of chemical weapons. in syria the u.s. and u.k. and france came up with a draft resolution. it was greatly erroneous in its very logic. it was based on pre-determining damascus being guilty. where is your principle of presuming innocence capital why do you forget the presumption of innocence in other cases? all of this is taking place because washington, london, and paris.

i spoke about this in close consultation and i say this again. they have this paranoiac idea of overthrowing the legitimate government in sovereign syria. of overthrowing the legitimate government in sovereign syria. and this was clearly shown by the non-diplomatic actions and statements made by the u.k. stop doing these -- putting forward these unprofessional arguments and accusations against my country. these are not diplomatic. they are lies. once again, i warn, don't even try to get into fights in the arab world. nothing will work. and nothing will be achieved.

that is why you are getting annoyed. countries recall your colonial hypocrisy. the ambassador rycroft in his statements talked about issues. i would like to recall exactly what has happened now -- those who undertook this attack are in no way interested in the impartial investigation by the competent international authority to find out exactly what took place. i will say even more. you are afraid of such an investigation. you are afraid of real, genuine, independent investigation. what would happen if the outcome of this investigation would

contradict your antigovernment paradigm? you would be afraid of investigations of what took place in other places. the permanent representative of the usa said there is witnessed from the intelligence services of the usa that there -- the government forces used chemical weapons. we said, show us. specialists will see whether this is the case or not. we will recall the general power in this room, he talked about chemical weapons were not found. work with professionals or ultimatums. we live in a complex and multipolar world. it is difficult to live in this world. but russia has proposed to its

partners on the security council constructive alternatives. but you have nothing. you need to accept there was no professional alternative. you did not put forward any good arguments to us. and specifically, our initiative was based on the appeal for specialists on a geographical basis and the opcw fact-finding mechanism and investigation mission, to call that group together on our initiative and to visit the site where this incident took place, to conduct professional investigations. all syrian parties were asked to give immediate access to where

the events took place. the syrian government does not control this area of the province. there are battle hardened groups from outside work closely related to terrorist groups of nusra. and they have things to hide, including in the context of the chemical dossier. you are trying to hide this again. again, as you showed in aleppo. when aleppo was freed, everything became clear. it is no coincidence that the complaints against syria of chemical weapons and their storage by extremists in special warehouses, and they are being used by the army and civilians, has just been ignored or studied

for months after months without any outcome. the opcw, the fact-finding mission, does not work in a conscientious manner. they prefer to come up with statements of opposition groups, internet blogs, social networks, and a whole range of n.g.o.'s of a doubtful reputation. and they work with information and evidence from the areas where the events took place. they don't even look at the evidence. and they want us to agree with this information? it is not even worth looking at. now, in our draft, we also set out the need to establish a

balance in geographical terms staffing of the investigation. it is an important point. it has a direct relationship to the issue of impartiality and trust. so far, fact-finding mission experts have been made up of representatives from one country who are in the forefront of the anti-damascus parties. proof of the blatant double standards is the ignoring of the chemical attacks carried out by terrorists in the middle east as a whole. recall the recent events in mosul, iraq. where is the international community's reaction? where was your warning, first and foremost to those establishing this headline

action? are these victims of a different category? second-class victims? why do we not see in the headlines of your newspapers the tragedy in this besieged town of mosul? i'm talking about hundreds of thousands of people. therefore, the attack in syria is an attempt to distract attention from the many victims in the peaceful population in iraq and syria caused by the unilateral actions. they are attacking homes and civilian targets. the humanitarian corridors make no sense. the little girl lived in mosul. you did not say any word about this little girl who became a symbol of this tragedy. when a coalition bombed her house, everybody around her was killed. thank god, the girl remained alive.

her life had to be fought for. now her life is out of danger, but she is almost blind. we will not in this room set up a cynical show and hold up photographs, but the mosul tragedy must be told about. people must know about it. nothing has been said about mosul. those know that this is a lie. we do not wish to draw attention of anybody from anything, particularly what terrorists are doing. we merely want to tell you that if we are fighting terrorism, let's do it on standards. world principles or any other principles. don't try. let me once again -- to argue with ourselves and iraq.

you will not get us involved in that. look at what you are doing in iraq and what we are doing. the 10 nonpermanent members of the security council did attempt to find a compromise last evening on the consultations we call for. they thanked the american delegation for the fact a vote had been postponed. but there was nothing to thank them for. our colleagues did not even imagine that the decision was made with totally different ideas in mind. it was not with the idea of continuing constructive dialogue. washington had already chosen to take military action, which was undertaken when members of the security council had hardly left the u.n. building. we call upon the united states

to immediately cease its aggression and join those efforts being made for a political settlement in syria. and to work together to combat the terrorist threat. in that sort of cooperation, we are ready to undertake such cooperation. today, many insulting words have been heard with regard to our right to veto. our right. which we have used in a responsible manner. but we used it only in such circumstances when you try in the security council to impose your irresponsibility to political projects.

the security council must develop agreed international decisions. but these geopolitical adventures will never be supported. thank you very much. >> thank you to the representative of the russian federation. and now, we will give the floor to the representative of senegal. >> madam president, i wanted to express my deepest condolences through our colleague to the people and government. >> thank you. >> thank you, madam president. before beginning my statement, i would like to express my sincere condolences and sympathy of the senegalese delegation through the swedish ambassador to all of the swedish people and its government for the tragic

terrorist attack that took place this morning. madam president, here we are meeting in an urgent session today, 48 hours only following a meeting the same format that brought us here on the fourth of april. but just as on the fourth of april, yesterday late into the evening, we still today are seeing a deep division within our security council with regard to the syrian crisis. with these of chemical weapons, with the proliferation of terrorist groups, has disastrous, unprecedented consequences, and is the most serious conflict at the moment. what image are we sending out to the international community? and above all, what message are we sending out to the syrian people? that we have lost direction.

what ambiguous message are we sending out as well to the terrorists that are mushrooming up in syria? madam president, nothing can justify an atrocity such as the use of chemical weapons being used against civilians. even in a period of conflict. we are a party to the geneva convention. we repeat our condemnation to all weapons of including chemical weapons. my delegation would like to further encourage the opcw in its work, particularly with regard to its fact-finding mission and its efforts attempting to analyze all the information available in order to determine who is responsible for what. last september in this very

chamber, the president of senegal said in this room that there can be no military solution to this crisis. and that is why my delegation reaffirms our strong conviction that only a negotiated solution on the basis of the geneva communique and resolution 2254 can make it possible to find the final outcome to this conflict. we must not forget it needs to be political, security, humanitarian, nonproliferation. all those aspects have to be covered in this agreement. my delegation wishes every success to the fifth round of talks in geneva, opened on the 23rd of march this year, with the hope that the praiseworthy efforts of special envoys that these talks will lead to

substantial conclusions. during the fourth meeting, that made it possible for the first time to address substantial issues such as constitutional reform, political transition, and the holding of elections under the observation of the united nations. thank you. >> thank you to the representative of senegal. now we will turn the floor over to the representative of kazakhstan. >> thank you, madam president. i join others in expressing our condolences to our swedish colleagues and those in stockholm. my delegation is greatly concerned by recent developments in the actions of members of the council on the actions in syria. we would like to make the following recommendations with regard to the situation in syria. we call on all parties to refrain from actions that could

increase the risks of a military escalation of tensions in syria. we would like to emphasize the lack of unanimity may liquidate new hopes of the syrian people which arise from the historical resolution. we should not undermine an inclusive political negotiating process as provided for in resolution 2254. geneva five, held from 23-25 march, will enable to move from discussing procedural issues to political aspects of future peace talks. in this regard, we simply cannot allow cease-fire to dissolve. it is our last chance to realize the only way to peace on the syrian land. we consider gas attacks in syria is a crime against humanity and strongly condemn the use of chemical weapons. it is important to have a thorough, objective, and impartial investigation into all

aspects of a chemical attack on april 4 of this year, which will allow the international community to make a fair verdict against the perpetrators in full compliance with international law. we like to remind that the position of kazakhstan is not only the most severe condemnation of the use of weapons of mass destruction by anybody, especially against the civilian population, but also the resolution of conflicts exclusively by peaceful means. we also have to respect the sovereignty of states that are member states of the u.n. and the principles enshrined in the u.n. charter. we urgently need political solutions. only political, diplomatic solutions can bring peace in syria. we call on the international community to exert political will to overcome differences and negotiate peace in syria. the legitimate authorities of the syrian republic as well as other parties must thoroughly

execute their obligations of complying with the relevant recommendations by opcw and the u.n. by accepting personnel designated while providing for an assuring the security of activities undertaken by this personnel, by providing this personnel with access and the right to inspect any and all sites and alone immediate, unfettered access to individuals the opcw believes to be of importance for the purpose of its mandate. the crisis in syria that is still unfolding as its impact not only on the region but the whole international community. kazakhstan believes the regional approach involving neighboring countries which have influence on parties in syria should be considered as a very effective

method in mitigating the situation in preventing other deterioration. there is a strong need to continue supporting the aims of the geneva negotiations for political outcomes. we welcome significant results of the conference held this april in brussels which was chaired by the u.n. and attended by many i.g.o.'s and n.g.o.'s. it is encouraging with the pledges made of sending a message of solidarity to the people of syria and all those impacted by the conflict. the meeting will increase much needed humanitarian assistance to the syrian people, which is the most important to achieve political objectives. finally, madam president, i conclude by referencing the conference in brussels who said the most difficult times call

for the greatest efforts. and i would add, also the greatest of compromises. thank you. >> thank you to the representative of kazakhstan. now we will give the floor to the representative of sweden. >> i'm heartened by all of the expressions of condolence and sympathies coming in as we speak from all my friends in the hall this morning. thank you very much for that. madam president, thank you for convening the meeting. very important. as we said in this chamber, the alleged use of chemical weapons in the attack was abhorrent and unacceptable. if these allegations are proven to be correct, the joint investigative mechanism has concluded chemical weapons have been used by the syrian regime on at least three occasions. this latest attack only adds to the many other confirmed cases of international crimes committed in the syrian conflict

by all parties, most notably the syrian regime. chemical weapons use is clearly illegal, constitutes a threat to international peace and security, and war crimes or crimes against humanity. there must be no impunity for such atrocities. madam president, sweden has been extremely clear that the attacks must be condemned in the strongest terms, that there needs to be a rapid, full, and impartial investigation to confirm the use of chemical weapons and those responsible for this momentous attack must be held to account. this is why we have worked tirelessly over the last days to ensure it option by this council of a strong resolution at a robust and immediate investigation into this outrage. while this effort did not bear fruit yesterday, we see hope there is enough common ground for this council to move forward on a strong resolution. efforts should continue, and we will remain constructively and

actively engaged. with regard to the u.s. airstrike last night in response to the fourth of april attack, it is important action is based on international law. last night's missile attack also does raise questions on its compatibility with international law. as the secretary-general said, restraint is important to avoid any risk of escalation now. madam president, sweden has championed accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity in syria. we voted in favor of the draft resolution on accountability for the use of chemical weapons on february 28. we have actively supported the commission of inquiry.

the cosponsor the da resolution to set up independent mechanisms that would begin very soon. and we have provided for -- support for this mechanism of almost $400,000. --tant of the changing exchanging accusations and insults, we need to come together to urge and reinvigorate the political process. ultimately, the only way of efforts -- entering the suffering in syria is achieving a sustainable political solution. politicalrequire processes based on resolution 2254. we reiterate our full support for the syrian talks and the efforts of the western minister, who we look forward to hearing from next week. the parties must engage seriously. over the last days, we have expressed our outreach over the .atest atrocity, this time

but every day, the syrian people continue to suffer the reality of war in all its forms. it is high time to end the war in syria and that the syrian will can now determine their own future. i think you very much, madam president. i will not give the floor to the representative of ethiopia. thank you very much. >> thank you for organizing this meeting. let me express our condolences to the government of sweden and to our swedish colleagues in condemning the terrorist attack. and now the point i would like to raise. continuesuation here and the result would be the state,e of the syrian those who win would be the terrorist. times. seen it too many

this perhaps is another indication that the international community has no political --, so in a united and consented manner. there is no justification for the crime committed on april 4. second, there is a very ancient issue that requires gratification, and handling with wisdom. that have to do with the fact s are veryany state much active in syria. who does not know that syria has in an open field for quite some time? the point is that the questions

>> who doesn't know that syria has been an open field for quite some time? the point is, the situation has been worsening and nobody knows might what might happen tomorrow. what we are facing is much broader. much complicated matter. likely to easily get out of hand. the priority in our mind should be to find a way out before one gets to the slippery slope. this is a time for wisdom to prevail. for statement ship to take the upper-hand. that has been the case for some time. what the secretary to secretary-general of state today is referring to among other things and i quote, the security council has the primary responsibility for international peace and security.

i call on the council to unite and exercise that possibility. for too long, he continues, international law has been ignored in the syrian conflict. it is our shared duty to uphold international standards of humanity. there is a danger that the security council, which is already being marginalized, might lose whatever remaining credibility it might have. that is why the action taken yesterday looks, in hindsight, not only very timely, but also wise. we should find a way out for what otherwise could be a

dangerous development. we believe it might. in light of the fact that the rationale for this action, the use of chemical weapons, and who is responsible has still to be conclusively demonstrated, and the investigation has to be spread out and concluded. it seems to us a priority now should be the adoption by consensus or the draft, and also as egypt said, for the u.s. -- international federation to exercise responsibility and find a way out, which is not beyond their capacity. finally, as we said two days ago, it is only an inclusive

political process that could ultimately address the syrian crisis and prevent the situation from spiraling out of control. that is way there is need for calm and restraint, to de-escalate the situation, we hope the latest developments will not dampen the prospect for a political solution in syria to the intra-syria talks. i think you, madam president. >> thank you to the ethiopian representative. i will give the floor to the representative of ukraine. >> thank you, madam president. we were also shocked by the terrorist act in stockholm, our solidarity and condolences to sweden. i would like to stress that we came here not to discuss yesterday's strike by the u.s., but the consequences of a terrible deadly chemical weapons

attack last tuesday. i also would like to draw attention to the statement of the minister of ukraine that states, any use of chemical weapons is an outrageous violation of international law and constitutes a war crime. perpetrators of such act have to be brought to account. impunity for a violator of international law leads to further crimes on his part. russia's blocking of the work of the un security council is unacceptable. the syrian regime sponsors and advocates also bears responsibility for the use of weapons of mass destruction in syria and subsequent deaths and sufferings amongst syrian civilians. u.s. sanctions must be supported to prevent the regime from committing any further war crimes, including against civilian population. the ukraine considers u.s. missile strikes against military

targets, namely the air base from which an airstrike with the use of chemical weapons was launched against the country is an adequate and proportionate response. the use of weapons of mass destruction's is not going to be tolerated anymore. yesterday's events were long coming. for years this council was paralyzed on many important international security issues including the syrian -- for all intents and purposes is was -- it was practically held hostage by one litigation. it practiced the approach of my way or no way. counsel efforts were blocked by russian veto seven times, seven

seven imobilizing vetoes. thousands of dead syrian children that will never see the light of day again. everything and anything was employed to construct a meaningful action of the council. obfuscation, distractions, outright lies, even bullying. despite the best efforts of the council members, the council was not able to deliver because of the russian delegation. the russian delegation point here that it suggested a balanced resolution. ukraine does not consider the proposal by the russian delegation either as adequate to the circumstances or is proper action of the international community to mass murder of people. given the brutal fact on the ground, it is adding insult to injury.

we cannot accept these crimes as the alleged incident with chemical weapons, or cousin large-scale loss of life. an incident reported loss of life, does not do russian delegation watch tv, or maybe it continues to assert horrible footage from countries urthermore the draft suggests that the key focus of the international response to the use of weapons of mass destruction against civilians, instead of identifying and bringing to justice the perpetrators, and taking steps to prevent future attacks, should be able to consider personal composition of the investigation team-based on the principle of a broad-based and balanced distribution. this is not serious. such an approach is and postponing practical investigation. we see these as a shameless attempt to undermine credibility of the security council. when the u.n. is enabled to move

the resulting void is filled. endless talks cannot substitute concrete actions. we reject the assertion by the russian federation that the u.s. action constitutes an act of aggression. the russian side has lost a moral ground to make such claims after its invasion of georgia, occupation and attempted annexation of crimea, and watching aggression against my country, which continues until the state. the deafening sound of silence of russian ground missiles bending ukraine's territories

bring a death and destruction render hollow statements on the subject for international law. they are utterly hypocritical. i call the russian delegation to stop calling others paranoid. look at yourself. ukraine continues to believe that the final settlement of the syrian conflict can be fixed through the political solution only. the only way forward is a political process, cease-fire, and true commitment to a genuine political transition based on the geneva resolution 2254. we urge the syrian regime and his backers to think carefully before embarking on an escalated once again, and instead read this correctly and a way that would give peace a chance.

the events of this week sent a clear signal to all of us, the international community cannot afford a dysfunctional security council. failure to discharge his duties in an objective manner, to stand up for what is right, to ensure accountability for violators of international law, undermines its moral standing. when time and energy of its members are dispensed in attempts to achieve unity and consensus by shielding perpetrators of the fishes crimes for response ability, they destroyed the credibility. i call on all of you to remember the counsel's main task is to not to achieve consensus on any given issue, but to work diligently and responsibly to maintain international peace and security. when the u.n. is found wanting opportunistic and unscrupulous types -- all russian to exploit weaknesses to achieve their own political goals, thus creating more demand for a just and

adequate response. if the u.n. persists in action, this response will come from outside the system. obstructionists whose identities are well known have only themselves to blame for events not playing out according to their scenarios. >> thank you to the representative of ukraine. i shall now make my statement in my capacity as a representative of the united states. for six years the world has watched as the syrian government and its leader have terrorized its own people. it has murdered hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. it has broken international law and violated numerous u.n. resolutions. it has committed criminal acts

that shocked the conscience of all humanity. the international community has repeatedly expressed its outrage. the joint investigative mechanism has found beyond any doubt that the syrian regime has used chemical weapons against its own people multiple times. on tuesday, the assad regime launched another chemical attack on civilians, murdering innocent men, women, and children, in the most gruesome way. assad did this because he thought he could get away with it. he thought he could get away with it, because he knew russia would have his back. that changed last night. as i warned wednesday, when the international community consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times when states are compelled to take their own actions. the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. the united states will not stand by when chemical weapons are

used. it is in our vital national security interests to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons. our military destroyed the airfield from which this week's chemical strike took place. we were fully justified in doing so. the moral stain of the assad regime could no longer go unanswered. his crimes against humanity could no longer be met with empty words. it was time to say, enough. not only say it, it was time to act. assad must never used chemical weapons again. ever. while the syrian regime is responsible for the chemical weapons attack, it is not the only guilty party. the iranian government bears a heavy responsibility. it has propped up and shielded serious brutal dictator for

years. iran continues to play a role in the bloodshed in syria. the russian government also bears responsibility. every time assad has crossed the line of human decency, russia has stood beside him. we had hoped the security council would move forward, but russia made it known as it has done seven times before, that it would use its veto once again, covering up for the assad regime. further delay by compromising with russia for a watered-down resolution would have only strengthened assad, strengthening assad will only lead to more murders. we were not going to allow that. it is even more than that. russia is supposed to be a guarantor of the removal of chemical weapons from syria. think about that. russia is supposed to have removed all of the chemical

weapons from syria. obviously that has not happened. innocent syrians continue to be murdered in chemical attacks -- let's think about the possible reasons for russia's failure. it could be that russia is knowingly allowing chemical weapons to remain in syria. it could be that russia has been an competent in its efforts to remove the chemical weapons, incompetent in its efforts to remove the chemical weapons. it could be that the assad regime is playing the russians for fools, telling them there are no chemical weapons, all the while stockpiling them on their bases. the world is waiting for the russian government to act responsibly in syria. the united states will no longer wait for assad to use chemical weapons without any consequences. those days are over. now we must move to a new phase,

a drive for a solution to this horrific conflict. we expect the syrian regime and its allies to take the u.n. political process seriously, something they have not done up until this point. we expect russia and iran to hold their allie accountable and abide by the terms of the cease-fire. we expect this counsel to speak loudly and forcefully when a regime or its allies undermine the political process, and countless of our own resolutions. the united states took a very measured step last night. we are prepared to do more. we hope that will not be necessary. it is time for all civilized nations to stop the horrors taking place in syria, and demand a political solution. thank you. i will now resume my function as the president of the council.

i give the floor to the representative of the syrian arab republic. >> at the outset, my delegation wishes to thank both the russian federation and bolivia that joined us in calling for the convening of this urgent meeting. i have a question to the under secretary-general who stated that syrian-arab republic perpetrated an act of aggression without defining that act with the terms of the charter of the united nations.

the united states at 3:42 today, april 7, 2017, waged a barbaric, flagrant act of aggression against a base of the syrian-arab air force in the central area of the country, using a number of missiles which led many injured including women and children, and wide ranging material damage. this treacherous act of aggression is a great violation of the charter of the united nations as well as all international laws. the united states attempted to justify it with empty pretext, fabricated arguments, claiming

that the syrian-arab army had used chemical weapons, without genuine knowledge of what happened, without identifying who was responsible, the very same pretext shouted out by terrorist organizations as well as their handlers in washington, tel aviv, london, and paris. the syrian arab republic does not have chemical weapons in the first place, and that it would never use such weapons in any of its operations against armed terrorist groups. it condemns the use of such weapons under any conditions. let me stress that it is well known that those weapons have been used and stockpiled in many

parts of syria by terrorist armed organizations, with a wink and a nudge by some ruling regimes in the region, including turkey, saudi arabia, some european states. they completely ignore all of the facts and documented information on the use of chemical weapons by terrorists in many parts of the syrian-arab republic. this aggression which surely sends erroneous messages to those terrorist groups, emboldening them to use chemical weapons in the future and to continue perpetrating terrorist acts against the syrian civilians, and isil, post -- both terrorist organizations --

following this aggression, did wage many attacks on many parts of syria. the syrian-arab army and its allies against the war and terrorism are confronting them, despite desperate attempts. the american aggression is under this umbrella. this condemnable aggression is a grave extrapolation of the same erroneous american strategy that began six years ago, providing all forms of assistance to what the united states called moderate armed opposition groups. this harms counterterrorism by the syrian-arab army and its partners. it makes united states of america a partner of isil and other terrorist groups, that since day one of the unjust war against syria have an army position and military bases as well as the infrastructure. let me recall and this counsel the united states of america

leads a purported alliance against isil. however, the real achievements of that coalition is to kill civilians and to strike at infrastructure in syria. it's real objective is to weaken the syrian-arab army and its allies when confronting terrorist groups. we see the airstrike by the aircraft of this coalition even illegally against the syrian-arab army on 17, september 2017. today's aggression aimed at at saving following the great damage that was done to them by

the syrian-arab army and its allies, following attacks in the region -- let me also stress that the u.s. congress sometime ago approved a law allowing the the u.s. administration to send manpads to armed terrorist groups in syria. we want to days ago in this counsel that if colonialist, permanent states in the security council, that free colonialists have a renewed appetite to renew their lies and stories. this justify the destruction and occupation of iraq. using a major lie, wmd's, perhaps history this has come

full circle. they're trying to dilute the international community to justify the aggression of this country against iraq by talking about highly credible information. today the united states of america in its policy in an attempt to justify its aggression against syria is using fabricated information provided by terrorists. this aggression proves that syria has been correct. successive american administrations will not change their policies, which targets states to make people kneel to there will. international public opinion -- people of the free world have no doubt that successive united states, the u.k., and the french administrations for decades have not cared for democracy or freedom or human rights, let alone the well-being of peoples or their security and stability. these are just pretexts to wage

war, to divide states, to control their wealth and energy resources. what is disgusting is that these governments that supported the terrorist extremist ideology since its creation, it is today orchestrating terrorism and investing in it without any care for the life of people, even their own people when terrorists reached their own threshold because of these wrong policies.

we strongly condemn the act of aggression by the united states of america, which is counter to the principles of the charter of the united nations. the status of the security council was responsible for the maintenance of international security. these aggressions in you law of the jungle the only way to deal with the regional and economic crises without any heed to the charter. when you killed millions of innocent starting in south asia of the way through latin america, what was your position? the member of france spoke on the issue and spoke about exceptions. you should not be the exception. you should be made accountable for the killings in the july of 2017 of hundreds. you and the international coalition must be held accountable for the killing of 800 civilians in syria at the beginning of 2017.

you must be made accountable for your support of armed terrorist groups and the political cover as the continue their terrorist acts. the government of the syrian-arab republic proceeding from is beliefs that all efforts must be mobilized to combat terrorism, as it respects the rules of international law, the charter of the united nations calls in the security council to show its responsibilities according to the charter, to condemn this act of aggression, and to an sure that this shall not be repeated. it is an act that threatens peace and security in the region and the world. >> the representative of the russian federation has asked for the floor again to make a further statement. >> distinguished members of the security council, i'm taking the

floor again just to say that i would have asked the speakers from the u.s. and other delegations not to insult my country. there is no moral right to do so. we do not do so, and i would like to just say ms. haley has just assumed her new office, she does have a genuine opportunity, as a permanent representative, to establish a healthy collective work environment in the security council. this will not be done if you give the national point of view on what is absolute truth. i would like first of all to

ensure that we have mutual respect for work in the security council. thank you. >> thank you to the representative of the russian federation. there are no more speakers on the list. with that, the meeting is adjourned. ♪ :, we are featuring our student cam winners. this year, the most urgent
