¿Qué capacidad de producción de #chemicalweapons tiene 🇰🇵, en base a fuentes abiertas? Interesante side event en la #RevCon5 @OPCW @RUSI_org @CanadaOPCW 
Desde hace casi 20 años no tenemos información fiable. 🇰🇵 no ha firmado la #CWC, por lo que no aporta datos de su industria ni hay acceso de los inspectores de @OPCW al país
@RUSI_org ha desarrollado un proyecto de 3 años basado en imágenes por satélite accesibles
Director-General of the @OPCW, which services the #ChemicalWeapons Convention, provides an implementation overview. All chemical weapons stocks held by states parties have now been destroyed except in US, which hopes to complete this task in September. #RevCon5 #CWCrevcon
Over the past decade chemical weapons have been used in Iraq, Malaysia, Russia, Syria & UK - @OPCW director-general. Last use was in Russia in 2020.
@OPCW Sorry to miss the rest of this important statement as civil society were kicked upstairs
Governments should protect the integrity of the international treaty banning #ChemicalWeapons by fully implementing it & by ensuring accountability for any violations - @hrw on the Review Conference, which opens in the Hague today hrw.org/news/2023/05/1… #CWCRevcon

@hrw @henkvdKwast @minbuza @balkeesjarrah @loucharbon @OPCW @OPCW_ST @UN_Disarmament @INakamitsu @cwccoalition The #ChemicalWeapons Convention is the world’s most universally accepted humanitarian disarmament treaty. At least 140 of the 193 countries that have ratified it will attend the milestone 5th Review Conference in the Hague this week #CWCRevcon #RevCon5
I'm attending the 5th Review Conference of the #ChemicalWeapons Convention this week. It's @hrw's first participation in a CWC meeting after years of being denied entry. Yet inexplicably other civil society groups are still blocked hrw.org/news/2023/05/1… #CWCRevCon #RevCon5
Day 409 of the war and here's the daily thread for Saturday.
A quiet start to the weekend, but #Russia's aggression continues as they try to claim the small #Donetsk towns of #Bakhmut #Mariinka and #Avdiivka.

Quite a lot of news again yesterday from "leaked" NATO docs, #Russia land-mining, the weakening of the ruble, Russians sabotaging jets for #Ukraine, Occupiers eating endangered animals and loads of #RussiaOnFire incidents

I think I was one of the first western journalists to report this, the last entry on yesterday's thread, so worth a retweet again this morning.
The worry is #Russia often accuses others of what it does itself.

@aaronjmate Oh gosh @aaronjmate, like your entire briefing, this is incredibly weak. I’ll respond clearly for you with a series of tweets…
@aaronjmate 1) You claimed the IIT “just simply overlooked” the issue of foaming at the mouth. I pointed out this was untrue and provided you with the page number and section of the report. By reading it out said section you proved yourself you had lied in your original intervention
@aaronjmate 2) In trying to defend your lie, you attempt to argue that on the very page of the IIT report that confirms your lie, the IIT cites a scientific source that contains no reference to the word ‘foam’. I’ll explain how this exposes you further…
Our @UNIDIR report on 5th #ChemicalWeapons Convention RevCon outlined 5 outcome scenarios. While consensus should be sought, State Parties will likely ask: consensus at what cost? Substantive issues will divide SPs, so consensus will likely be a dilution of the issues. 1/7 #OPCW
But will SPs permit such dilution? If not, we may repeat RC4 outcome: a chair’s report. This can capture some substance, but it’s not an effective, solidifying, strategic document for #OPCW. However, this outcome seems likely. So how do SPs make the best of this situation? 2/7
There are discrete topics that might generate agreement as to their importance for #OPCW strategic vision, i.e. the #ChemTechCentre, #theAfricaProgram, #gender #geographicrepresentation –&others? So, how can SPs ensure these aren't lost in diluted outcome or chair's report? 3/7
Congratulations to @DanielRoher, @pevchikh, @christogrozev and team! Their documentary “Navalny” won @TheAcademy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film. The film explores their insights on Russian security services’ poisoning of @navalny with a chemical nerve agent.
“Alexei, the world has not forgotten your vital message to us all: We must not be afraid to oppose dictators and authoritarianism wherever it rears its head.”@DanielRoher
Mr. Navalny’s exposure of corruption in Russia and its use of #ChemicalWeapons, as well as his pro-democracy activism, has prompted his politically motivated arrest. We continue to urge authorities to ensure his safety and good health.
@StateDept_GCJ Ambassador Van Schaack met yesterday with @OPCW Director General Fernando Arias and his team to discuss accountability for #ChemicalWeapons use in Syria. The United States supports efforts to bring Chemical Weapons perpetrators to justice. #NoImpunity
In advance of @OPCW #EC-102 @StateDept_GCJ Ambassador Van Schaack joined @OPCW DG Arias and a panel of experts at @LeidenLaw to discuss Chemical Weapons use and legal pathways to accountability.
The United States is committed to working with allies and partners, civil society and international organizations such as @OPCW to investigate allegations of chemical weapons usage and hold those accountable when usage is found to have occurred.

1/ For both vapor and liquid exposure, the amount of adduct formed increased with the level of exposure. In all cases synthetic reference standards were used for unambiguous identification. ...
2/ ... The window of opportunity for investigation of agent exposure through the analysis of plant material was found to be remarkably long. Even three months after the actual exposure, the biomarkers could still be detected in the living plants, as well as in dried leaves. ...

1. #Syria: No recent reports of Turkish attacks beyond the reported bombing of #Managh airbase near #Afrin and harassing fire in the #Darbasiyah district. A review of the Turkish media found nothing in the three main English daily papers. The Turkish language Ankara Gazeti
2. had an article quoting DM #Akar that Tukey's actions are legal under international law presumably reaction to reports where he was seen admitting to using #chemicalweapons in #Iraq. Not a very strong position and could indicate that behind-the-scenes diplomatic engagement is
3. not very positive for the Erdogan regime. #Turkey has air power and heavy guns but a poorly trained conscript army that will be chewed up and spit out by the US SOF trained SDF in urban warfare. Erdogan may have played his hand in the belief that he could extract concessions

Last January, @TheSyriaCmpgn commissioned ISD to investigate the extent of English-language disinformation about the Syrian conflict from 2015-2021. This analysis formed the basis of @TheSyriaCmpgn report, Deadly Disinformation, published 19 June 22. deadlydisinformation.org
@TheSyriaCmpgn In today’s Digital Dispatch, ISD explains how we conducted our investigation. In short, ISD collected and analyzed over 900K tweets and over 34K Facebook posts from 28 actors known to spread false information about the Syria conflict.
@TheSyriaCmpgn Summary of findings: 1-A relatively small number of actors can spread a large amount of disinfo online; 2-this helped create an atmosphere of opacity & doubt, which permeated Western policy discussions &
