Venu Rajamony, Permanent Representative of India to Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), condemned the chemical attack in Syria and called for world free of chemical weapons.
The India's representative said, "A world free of chemical weapons means two things (a) that the existing stockpile of chemical weapons is irreversibly destroyed and (b) re-emergence of chemical weapons is scrupulously prevented."
Speaking on the future challenges and the daunting tasks of preventing the re-emergence of chemical weapons, Rajamony stated that "liquidation of existing stockpiles has been almost completed despite the process being expensive, technologically challenging and with potential consequences to the environment. Re-emergence could happen anywhere or anytime, with known or unknown chemicals and with no warning".
