土耳其强调，使用化学武器是危害人类罪，违反1925年《日内瓦议定书》、《化学武器公约》以及安全理事会各项决议。各国坚决和广泛反对使用化学武器有罪不罚现象，其结果是召开了公约缔约国大会第四届特别会议，会上呼吁禁止化学武器组织（禁化武组织）技术秘书处做出安排，查明在叙利亚使用化学武器的元凶。在这方面，我们欢迎建立禁化武组织调查与鉴定小组，并全力支持其工作。我们还赞扬协助调查和起诉自2011年3月以来在阿拉伯叙利亚共和国境内犯下国际法所规定最严重罪行者的国际公正独立机制正在开展的工作。
Turkey emphasizes that the use of chemical weapons is a crime against humanity and a violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol, the Chemical Weapons Convention and various Security Council resolutions. The firm and wide rejection of impunity for the use of chemical weapons resulted in the holding of a fourth special session of the Conference of the States Parties to the Convention during which the Technical Secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was called on to put in place arrangements to identify the perpetrators of the use of chemical weapons in Syria. In that context, we welcome the establishment of the OPCW Investigation and Identification Team and fully support it in its work. We also commend the work being conducted by the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism to Assist in the Investigation and Prosecution of Persons Responsible for the Most Serious Crimes under International Law Committed in the Syrian Arab Republic since March 2011.
