أعلنت منظمة هيومن رايتس ووتش امتلاكها ما قالت إنها "أدلة قوية" على أن النظام السوري استخدم تلك الأسلحة الشهر الماضي في المناطق التي تسيطر عليها المعارضة المسلحة.
وجددت المنظمة دعوتها لمجلس الأمن الدولي، لإحالة الملف السوري إلى المحكمة الجنائية الدولية، وطبقا لبيان المنظمة الحقوقية، فإن مروحيات حكومية ألقت براميل مزودة بأسطوانات من غاز الكلور على 3 بلدات في الشمال السوري، هي كفر زيتا في محافظة حماة، والتمانعة وتلمنس بمحافظة إدلب، مشيرة إلى أن الحكومة السورية هي "الطرف الوحيد في النزاع الذي يمتلك مروحيات وأنواعا أخرى من الطائرات".
ولم تقف تلك التأكيدات عند حدود المنظمات والهيئات الدولية، بل إن دولاً عظمى، مثل الولايات المتحدة وفرنسان أكدت ذات المعلومات، مشيرة إلى امتلاكها أدلة لا تقبل الشك حول قيام النظام بإعادة استخدام الأسلحة المحرمة دوليا، رغم تحذيره مرارا وتكرارا من جانب المجتمع الدولي من مغبة ارتكاب هذه الجرائم.
لكن اللافت للانتباه، أنه رغم عدم انصياع النظام السوري الذي أدمن تحدي الأمم المتحدة، والضرب بقراراتها وتحذيراتها عرض الحائط، واستهداف المدنيين بتلك الأسلحة المدمرة، إلا أن كل ذلك لم يحرك ساكنا لدى المجتمع الدولي، ولم يدفع الأمم المتحدة لاتخاذ إجراءات عقابية، مما قد يعني ضمنيا السماح للنظام الدموي بإعادة تكرار تلك الجريمة.
Syria: Chemicals Used in Idlib Attacks
Security Council Should Act Decisively to Establish Responsibility
(New York) – Evidence strongly suggests that Syrian government forces used toxic chemicals in several barrel bomb attacks in Idlib governorate between March 16 and 31, 2015. Syrian rescue workers reported that these attacks affected at least 206 people, including 20 civil defense workers. One attack killed six civilians, including three children. The attacks violated the Chemical Weapons Convention and a United Nations Security Council resolution.
Human Rights Watch conducted inquiries into six attacks in which Syrian government helicopters dropped barrel bombs containing gas canisters that local residents reported contained chemicals. In three of these attacks, witness accounts and photo and video evidence strongly indicated a chemical attack; three other incidents require follow-up inquiries. While Human Rights Watch cannot conclusively establish the chemical used, several witnesses described a chlorine smell. Syrian government forces have previously dropped barrel bombs embedded with cylinders of chlorine gas.
“Syrian authorities appear once again to have shown complete disregard for human suffering by violating the global prohibition against chemical warfare,” said Nadim Houry, deputy Middle East and North Africa director. “The UN Security Council and countries that are members of the Chemical Weapons Convention need to respond strongly.”
Syrian Civil Defence volunteers, a group of rescue workers operating in areas outside the control of the government, documented 14 barrel bombs that contained apparently toxic chemicals. They reported that they were used in seven attacks in four locations in Idlib governorate between March 16 and 31. Local activists and journalists reported additional similar attacks.
In three attacks examined by Human Rights Watch, people near the impact sites exhibited symptoms consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals, and gas canisters were among the barrel bomb remnants at the impact sites, Human Rights Watch said. Witnesses described a strong chlorine smell at the impact sites or from the clothes of those affected.
All the attacks took place in territory controlled by armed opposition groups and in the context of fighting for control of the city of Idlib. On March 18, the Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra and other armed opposition groups opened a major offensive against government forces in the city that culminated in its capture on March 28.
Two witnesses near the targeted areas in two of the incidents said they heard helicopters shortly before the attacks. First responders saw and filmed remnants of barrel bombs, which can only be delivered by aircraft. Only government forces are known to use barrel bombs in Syria.
Among the remnants, witnesses reported finding containers typically used for refrigerants in refrigerators and air-conditioners. Videos and photos from the aftermath of five attacks, including material shared by the Syrian Civil Defense, show containers of a size, shape, and design commonly used for refrigerants. These canisters are easy to refill with other gases and widely available in Syria.
