Division I.2 Implementation of Decision C-SS-4/DEC.3

In operative paragraph 10 of Decision C-SS-4/DEC.3, the OPCW Conference of States Parties decided that the Secretariat shall put into place arrangements to identify the perpetrators of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic by identifying and reporting on all information potentially relevant to the origin of those chemical weapons in those instances in which the FFM determines or has determined that use or likely use occurred, and cases for which the UN-OPCW JIM has not issued a report. In furtherance of that Decision, the Secretariat will establish an Investigation and Identification Team, which will undertake its activities in an impartial and objective manner. The Investigation and Identification Team will function under the direct supervision of the OPCW Director-General and will provide reports to the Executive Council and to the United Nations Secretary-General.
