The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has become a high-profile issue surrounding the war in Syria, with multiple nations trying to use the watchdog to drum up favorable statements for their assorted positions. Reports, and subsequent leaks, are trying to frame this debate, and OPCW Director-General Fernando Arias was deeply critical of the leakers.
When statements are driven by diplomatic convenience, not only is their great pressure on the OPCW to rubber-stamp those messages, but statements of fact are simply never the end of things.
In March 2019, the OPCW report on Douma concluded it was likely that molecular chlorine was used in the April 2018 “attack.” The report did not have a mandate to assign blame. Leakers, however, released classified evidence to argue that the conclusion was flawed.
The leaks were embarrassing, and Arias attacked the leakers, saying they had “breached their obligations to the organization.” He went on to claim that “they are individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence.”
The comments came after an OPCW investigation into the leaks, and the leadership of the watchdog says it is being reviewed further to try to protect their confidentiality system.
The language control is in display again. Its not whistleblowing . Its a leaker ! The chief says. Someday is leaking that should not have been allowed to escape .
Well he is not leaking that is there He is leaking thats not there . He is telling that truth that should have been there but is not there ,the contents that should have made its way to the document-t ,did not make .
He is not leaking at all.
OPCW Director-General Fernando Arias is corrupt to the bones and installed by the US.
The reason why they don’t like leaks is because it leaves a stain on the U.N. carpet.
