30 years ago, 🇨🇦 signed the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention. Our commitment to the CWC remains as strong as ever💪
We fight impunity for CW use everywhere. We call on 🇷🇺 to clarify the circumstances of Mr. Navalny’s poisoning with a #Novichok & #StandWithUkraine against Russia’s illegal war of aggression.
🇨🇦's €10 million contribution to the ChemTech Centre enables the #OPCW’s response to increasingly complex CW threats.

🇨🇦 promotes gender equality and diversity at the #OPCW. Safeguarding peaceful uses of chemistry & mitigating CW threats is only effective if rooted in different perspectives👩‍🔬

🧵

OTD 29 years ago, Canada signed the #CWC. Since then, we have been steadfast in our effort to rid the world of #ChemicalWeapons. Keep reading ⬇️
We play a lead role in the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons & Materials of Mass Destruction to prevent #CBRN proliferation & terrorism. 🇨🇦 contributed over $240 million to support CW destruction in #Russia, #Libya, #Iraq and #Syria.

Canada is the top individual donor ($10 million) to the new Centre for Chemistry and Technology, which will position the OPCW to tackle emerging CW threats, promote chemical security and advance the peaceful use of chemistry into the future.

(1/8) On 7 April 2018, #Douma was the site of a horrific #chemicalweapons attack. Victims, including children, died from exposure to toxic chemicals. We remember the victims of this war crime & will seek accountability for CW use in #Syria.
(2/8) In March 2019, the OPCW’s Fact-Finding Mission confirmed the use of chlorine as a chemical weapon. The Investigation and Identification Team will continue to work to identify the perpetrators of this CW attack. 👉opcw.org/sites/default/…
(3/8) Since then, an incorrect theory has surfaced regarding the conclusions of the FFM’s report. This fringe theory stems from incomplete leaked information. It is simply false.

(1/12) #OTD in 2017, an air strike hit the town of #KhanShaykhun in #Syria, releasing large amounts of the nerve agent #sarin. It killed dozens of people, including children, and injured hundreds. Today, we remember the victims of this #warcrime.
(2/12) The OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism concluded with confidence that the sarin identified in samples taken from Khan Shaykhun had most likely been made with a precursor from the original Syrian stockpile. 👉 documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/…
(3/12) On April 8 2020, the #OPCW Investigation & Identification Team released its report into 3 #chemicalweapons attacks in #Ltamenah on March 24, 25 & 30, 2017. It concluded with confidence that individuals from the Syrian Air Force perpetrated them. 👉 opcw.org/sites/default/…

1/5:🇨🇦 supported 4 of the 🇷🇺 proposals for addition to Sched1. The 5th proposal did not meet the definition of a Sched1 chemical - according to both the #OPCW Technical Secretariat, and Canada's National Authority.
2/5: In direct consultations with 🇷🇺, we made clear that there was a path to consensus on 4 of 5 of its proposals. Instead 🇷🇺chose to proceed with a decision that it knew would fail. The reasons for this approach are now clear... #OPCW #EC902
3/5: Immediately post-EC meeting, 🇷🇺used the rejection of its prop to launch a systematic campaign of disinformation, fabricating allegations that states objected to the 5th proposal to cover-up their own research on those chemicals. #OPCW #EC90
