the hague - The United States wants the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to condemn in no uncertain terms the attacks with chemical weapons in Syria.

'This council had long ago been forced to condemn the Syrian government for its regime of chemical terrorism and to hold those responsible for these gruesome acts internationally accountable,' said US Ambassador Kenneth Ward. This appears from notes that the Reuters news agency has recognized.

The Americans fear that Russia has tampered with the place where an attack with chemical weapons was carried out in the city of Douma. ' We understand that the Russians have visited the place. We fear that they have tampered with the evidence to thwart the efforts of the OPCW mission. '' The inspectors of the organization visit Monday Douma with the aim of determining whether prohibited weapons have been used.

The British envoy also called for action, with a reference to the more than 390 alleged attacks with chemical weapons in Syria since 2014. 'The time has come for all members of this board to take a position. Too much evade the responsibility associated with membership of this council, 'Peter Wilson said.

The representative of the European Union called on Russia and Iran to use their influence to prevent Syria from using chemical weapons.
