PAZ E GUERRA V - PAX ET BELLI V - PEACE AND WAR V

Samantha Power, the American ambassador to the United Nations said (16-09-2013):

«We understand some countries did not accept on faith that the samples of blood and hair that the United States received from people affected by the Aug. 21 attack contained sarin, but now Dr. Sellstrom’s samples show the same thing. And it’s very important to note that the regime possesses sarin, and we have no evidence that the opposition posses sarin.»

Russia’s ambassador, Vitaly I. Churkin, said: «(...) how is it possible to fire projectiles at your opponent and miss them all? We need not jump to any conclusions (...).»

A lot of doubts, but all players have responsabilities now, after the first responsability of the syrian opression system that triggered the violence ... war must stop by political pression not by more war!

«The continuing volatile security situation in Libya in general, and in the eastern and southern parts of the country in particular, is a source of grave concern, (...). Targeted political assassinations, criminal activity and attacks and threats against the diplomatic community continue to plague the country, including Tripoli.» - report to the Security Council from the United Nations mission in Libya. 

Who was supported in Lybia? Who was supported in Syria? A lot of weapons for more violence against persons, for more insecurity, for more tyranny, ignorance and fanaticism. Where are the democrats, where are the persons that respect other persons? The majority of them are victims of new powers.

«United Nations Mission to Investigate Allegations of the Use of Chemical Weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic Report on the Alleged Use of Chemical Weapons in the Ghouta Area of Damascus
on 21 August 2013«(...)

Conclusions 

27. On the basis of the evidence obtained during our investigation of the Ghouta incident, the conclusion is that, on 21 August 2013, chemical weapons have been used in the ongoing conflict between the parties in the Syrian Arab Republic, also against civilians, including children, on a relatively large scale. 

28. In particular, the environmental, chemical and medical samples we have collected provide clear and convincing evidence that surface-to--surface rockets containing the nerve agent Sazrin were used in Ein Tarma, Moadamiyah and Zamalka in the Ghouta area of Damascus. 

29. The facts supporting this conclusion are: 0 Impacted and exploded surface-to-surface rockets, capable to carry a chemical payload, were found to contain Sarin. In Close to the rocket impact sites, in the area where patients were affected, the environment was found to be contaminated by Sarin. I Over fifty interviews given by survivors and health care workers provided ample corroboration of the medical and scientific results. I A number of patients! survivors were clearly diagnosed as intoxicated by an organophosphorous compound. I Blood and urine samples from the same patients were found positive for Sarin and Satin signatures.

30. This result leaves us with the deepest concern.» (http://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2013/08/world/syria-documents/index.html)

Steven Lee Meyers and Rick Gladstone «Russia Denounces U.N. Chemical Report on Syria» September 18, 2013 New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/19/world/middleeast/syria.html?_r=0):
«(...) Russian news reports quoted the country’s deputy foreign minister, Sergei A. Ryabkov, as saying during a visit to Damascus that the Syrian government had provided additional information that showed insurgents used chemical weapons not only on Aug. 21 but also on other occasions.
The Syrians offered no such information to the United Nations chemical weapons inspectors before they left Syria with a trove of forensic samples on Aug. 31. The weapons inspectors have said they will return to Syria to investigate other reported instances of chemical weapons use, but no dates have been announced.
Mr. Ryabkov spoke after meeting with Mr. Assad and his foreign minister, Walid al-Moallem. He did not disclose the precise nature of the additional information the Syrians had conveyed to him, but he was blunt about his criticism of the report presented on Monday at the United Nations.
“We are unhappy about this report,” Mr. Ryabkov said in remarks broadcast by the state television network, RT. “We think that the report was distorted. It was one-sided. The basis of information upon which it is built is insufficient.” He also said Russia needed “to learn and know more on what happened beyond and above that incident of Aug. 21.”
His remarks came a day after Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, also questioned the United Nations report, though not as harshly. Mr. Lavrov, who brokered the agreement with Secretary of State John Kerry to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international supervision, said on Tuesday that there were still “serious grounds to believe” that the Aug. 21 attack was a provocation carried out by the rebel side.
Asked about the Russian criticisms, Martin Nesirky, a spokesman for Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations secretary general, said it had been clear to everyone that the chemical weapons inspectors were focusing first on the Aug. 21 attack because of its magnitude and were planning to return to Syria to investigate other suspected assaults involving chemical munitions, with a more comprehensive report to be compiled thereafter.

"What is worrying are the clashes themselves," a second Turkish official said, referring to rebel infighting generally.
"What we want is to see the various coalition groups put their house in order and focus on the struggle with the regime, because that is the real issue - the violence inflicted by the regime on the Syrian people."
Ankara has been one of the strongest backers of the rebels in the 2-1/2-year uprising against Assad. While it denies arming them, fighters including militant Islamists have been able to cross its border into Syria.

At the same time, many activists and Kurdish forces accuse Turkey of allowing radical groups to go through its territory to launch attacks on its other foe - Kurdish militias, who are now operating on the frontier in northeastern Syria. Turkey denies those charges.» Jonathon Burch and Alexander Dziadosz

The Portuguese poet Manuel Alegre said in him poem «Trova do Vento que Passa» (1967) against Salazar authocracy:

«Mesmo na noite mais triste
Em tempo de servidão
Há sempre alguém que resiste
Há sempre alguém que diz não.»

«Anche nella notte più triste
In tempi di schiavitù
C’è sempre qualcuno che resiste
C’è sempre qualcuno che dice no.»

«Even the saddest night
In time of servitude
There is always someone who resists
There is always someone who says no.»



«Western powers did not want to intervene in Syria's civil war for more than two years, but the use of chemical weapons brought President Obama "kicking and screaming into doing something", said Christiane Amanpour.

The London-based broadcaster for American networks said was "stunned" by British MPs voting not to take part in military action.
But she added: "Having covered wars, I also know that limited targeted strikes - no boots on the ground - are sometimes really necessary to end terrible, terrible, terrible, inhuman suffering."
In her personal film for BBC1's This Week, she claimed it was the "credible threat of US force" in Syria that forced the Syrians, with Russians, to discuss destroying weapons.» 20 September 2013 BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24170327)
But we have vicious circles in Syria: the weapons that increased the conflict with a changed Irak by an incredible war, with a suspicious Turkish Government, ... with so many forces that turns dialectic way a complex labyrint ...

«A senior Obama administration official said Friday that the United States was encouraged by the initial inventory that the Syrian government had submitted of its chemical weapons arsenal.  

 “We were pleasantly surprised by the completeness of their declaration,” said the official, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. (...)

 The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the watchdog group known as the O.P.C.W. that oversees the international agreement banning poison gas, said on Friday that Syria had provided “an initial declaration” of its chemical weapons program.

The submission met the first deadline for Syrian compliance that was set down by the framework agreement that the United States and Russia concluded in Geneva last weekend.

American, British, Chinese, French and Russian diplomats are debating the terms of a United Nations Security Council resolution that would enforce the agreement. (...)»
