Saint Petersburg, Russia, 5 September 2013. I am very grateful to President Putin for allowing me to briefly address you about the tragic conflict in Syria, and some of the more recent developments.
You are well aware of events following the horrendous attack in the Ghouta area of Damascus on 21 August. Subsequently I received a request from more than 45 countries to investigate the incidents.
I therefore asked a team of UN inspectors, who were already on the ground, to focus on that incident as its highest priority. In the course of its fact-finding activities, from 26 to 30 August, the team visited various affected areas, as well as hospitals where victims are being treated.
They interviewed witnesses, and collected environmental and bio-medical samples. On 31 August, the UN team returned to The Hague to immediately begin its analysis. The whole process prior to getting the evidence to the laboratories was overseen by two Syrian officials, in order to ensure full transparency, based on the guidelines of the General Assembly.
