From Reuters:
The United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria
has not yet seen evidence of government forces having used chemical
weapons, which are banned under international law, said commission
member Carla Del Ponte.
"Our
investigators have been in neighboring countries interviewing victims,
doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week
which I have seen, there are strong, concrete
suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas,
from the way the victims were treated," Del Ponte said in an interview
with Swiss-Italian television.
"This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities," she added, speaking in Italian.
Del Ponte, a former Swiss attorney-general who also served as prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, gave no details as to when or where sarin may have been used.
