Disappointment in The Hague as states fail to reach consensus on the final report & political declaration of the Chemical Weapons Convention’s milestone 5th Review Conference. 
Consensus agreement was not possible “due to the limited time available & context of current global affairs.” The Chemical Weapons Convention #RevCon5 will formally conclude on Friday afternoon.
Lack of formal agreement at the Chemical Weapons Convention Review Conference shows current fragile state of multilateral disarmament diplomacy & pitfalls of consensus decision-making which a handful of countries—sometimes just 1 military power—exploit

La questione delle armi chimiche abbandonate dal #Giappone in #Cina è stato un tema importante dell'RC-5 e un aspetto chiave della realizzazione dell'obiettivo della Convenzione.
È ineludibile responsabilità storica, politica e legale del #Giappone distruggere il prima possibile gli ACW (Abandoned Chemical Weapons) giapponesi in modo pulito e completo.
¿Qué capacidad de producción de #chemicalweapons tiene 🇰🇵, en base a fuentes abiertas? Interesante side event en la #RevCon5 @OPCW @RUSI_org @CanadaOPCW

3/1 Certain countries attempted to manipulate hot-spot issues for political purposes, causing serious political confrontation at OPCW, undermining the int'l system prohibiting chemical weapons, said Mr. Sun Xiaobo, DG of DAC, MFA China, at the general debate of the #RevCon5.
3/2 Recent interactions in the Middle East fully illustrate that peace and development is the trend of the world & aspiration of the people. Regional countries have the will and ability to take the lead in promoting regional peace and development.
3/3 States Parties are called upon to reject political manipulation, bring the OPCW back to the right track & create favorable conditions for resolving hot spot issues including Syrian chemical weapons issue & safeguarding regional and international peace and stability.
