Authors Note: The OPCW-Douma controversy concerns the issue of alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria (see here for a recent overview article).
Thanks for another informative piece on the Syria chemical weapons story, separating facts from propaganda.
Thanks Ray, regards Piers
An essential effort to expose an international agency whose corruption is intended to bring about regime change in a sovereign nation.
Once exposed, what recourse is there to reform this agency? Can its politicized executive be sued?
hi Elizabeth, Hans von Sponeck and Richard Falk have discussed legal routes but this seems a challenging one to pursue. Still a possibility though. I suspect shifting geo-political realities provide the greatest hope that the OPCW's senior management will be brought to book. By the way, new book from Richard and Hans is now out: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Liberating-United-Nations-Realism-Hope/dp/1503638219/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4KDG48TTTU95&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uTAfPax10KnmdYdHQx2tSI33xFki8Cm8K5B1b7RRNeY.22oEsDaSjSGX3cNIpQclzRkLL4DXieHI5Xs0tXUKmqU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Liberating+the+United+Nations+Realism+with+Hope&qid=1712839353&sprefix=liberating+the+united+nations+realism+with+hope%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1, regards Piers
