executive council to provide certain information there was no way that the opposite w. can reject that request so it's written strictly in the convention you for. starts to break the rules written in the convention so it will break the whole mechanism of chemical weapons and i have to remind that this is the really unique instruments. unique regime of. weapons of mass destruction there is no other one like that and it's very risky for organization to break this rule especially from technical secretariat which is supposed to stay out of politics in a lot of countries or wouldn't like and actually do not like the united kingdom brought disbelief issue pure political issue. was going to. thank you for coming in and speaking to us on this matter it's great to have your expertise where there's a doctor and i can form a u.n. chemical weapons inspector in iraq thank you so much. we're back after this short break to stay with us. what holds us. to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be preached. to th

executive council consists of forty one. state parties and that's exactly the area where politics could be brought the last events especially the situation is all bring in. a situation in the use of chemical weapons in syria brought more politics in the situation the difference from my point every year between politics and science is that politics starts with a conclusion and science is supposed to be open ended when you go out to investigate something you should not have any preconceived notion about who might have done it. how does it balance itself out when it comes to the actual investigation so for example when scientists go out and collect the samples do they have an hour freedom to investigate those samples and to deliver the scientific opinion on them you have very good question but let me show how the politics are digital from the technical issues. when russia. suggests that decision the executive council to support the mission or w. in syria the western countries. actually blog decision but she. wrote the request t
