NEW YORK: A report by the UN experts on Syria’s chemical weapons attack that allegedly killed hundreds of people near Damascus on August 21 has been handed over to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Ban will unveil the findings of a UN investigation team to a closed door session of the UN Security Council in New York on Monday morning, the UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
“The report by the United Nations Mission to Investigate Allegations of the Use of Chemical Weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic has been turned over to the secretary general,” Nesirky said.
“It was transmitted today, September 15, to the secretary general by Professor Ake Sellstrom, the head of the mission, and the secretary general will provide it to the member states tomorrow morning,” the spokesman said.
“On Monday morning, the secretary general will brief the Security Council on the report during its closed consultations,” he added.
