France will wait for UN report on Syria chemical weapons Newscast Media WASHINGTON—French President François Hollande said he is waiting for the report by UN inspectors on the use of chemical weapons in Syria. “We will wait for the report from inspectors while we wait for the US Congress [to make a decision]” said Hollande at the end of the two-day G20 meeting in St Petersburg, Russia. His announcement comes amidst efforts by France and the US to garner support to prepare for military action in Syria following the use of chemical weapons that killed more than 1400 people. He added that the UN report will only confirm if chemical weapons were indeed used, but not who used them. Both Paris and Washington maintain they have proof that chemical weapons were used by Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The French president acknowledged that the G20 made evident the rift between the member states with regards to the use of chemical weapons in the Syria. “The report by the UN inspectors should ideally be delivered as soon as possible, which would be much appreciated by everyone” added Hollande. “The best case scenario would be if the UN Security Council played a role in condemning the use of chemical weapons given that the mission of inspectors is in fact a mission by the United Nations” said the French president. “If not, then a large coalition will need to form to put together all the countries who do not accept that one country, that one regime, can use chemical weapons”. He assured everyone that France’s position was “compromised” by other European countries, which are largely against military action.

Although strikes should not take place before UN inspectors have finished their investigation in Damascus, they could be launched before a special meeting of the French parliament on Wednesday, he said. France wants a firm, proportionate action against the Damascus regime,” Hollande told Le Monde, insisting that Paris can take such action without British support. “Every country is sovereign when it comes to taking part in an operation or not,” the president said. “That goes as much for France as for the United Kingdom.” Hollande is to have an “in-depth” phone discussion with US President Barack Obama, he told the paper, pointing out that, even if he is counting on support from other European powers and the Arab League, France is one of the few countries with the “capacity to inflict punishment with the appropriate means”. Germany will not take part in a military strike on Syria, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung on Friday.

Francuska prije akcije čeka izvješće UN-ovih inspektora Francuska će čekati zaključke UN-ovih inspektora koji istražuju prošlomjesečni napad kemijskim oružjem prije no što donese odluku o bilo kakvoj akciji To znači da se odluka o sudjelovanju Francuske u bilo kakvim vojnim udarima protiv Bašara al-Asada može najranije donijeti pred kraj mjeseca. Diplomati UN-a su rekli da bi se na rezultate UN-ovih analiza moglo čekati tjednima. 'Čekat ćemo izvješće inspektora kao što ćemo čekati i Kongres SAD-a', rekao je Hollande na konferenciji za tisak nakon summita država skupine G20 u Sankt Peterburgu u Rusiji. Hollande je rekao da bi UN-ov mandat bio najbolje rješenje ali najavio da će nastojati okupiti koaliciju država koje su za intervenciju ako se s njome ne složi Vijeće sigurnosti UN-a. 'Učinit ćemo sve što možemo kako bi Francuska udarila samo na vojne ciljeve i izbjegla civilne žrtve', rekao je glede možebitnih akcija kažnjavanja sirijskog čelnika Bašara al-Asada. Hollande je rekao da mu je predsjednik SAD-a Barack Obama rekao da bi Kongres SAD-a trebao o intervenciji u Siriji glasovati sredinom idućeg tjedna. 'Ako ne odgovorimo to će značiti da diktator koji rabi kemijska oružja i ubije gotovo 1500 ljudi i mnogu djecu, neće biti kažnjen za svoja djela, odnosno da u Siriji i drugdje diktatori mogu djelovati nekažnjeno', rekao je francuski predsjednik. Hollande, koji teško pridobija podršku svojih europskih partnera za mogući napad, rekao je da se nada da će dobiti barem političku podršku. 'Pokušavam osigurati da se Europljani slože, barem glede političkog stajališta', rekao je.
