Ecuador Voices Utter Rejection of Possible Military Action against Syria

Ecuador voiced utter rejection of a possible military action by the US and its allies against Syria.

The Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that any military action would be a direct intervention and violation of the sovereignty of states, affirming deep commitment to international law and a political solution to the crisis in Syria through dialogue, Syrian Arab News Agency reported.

Ecuador expressed rejection to manipulating information on the use of chemical weapons for justifying military action, calling for offering facilitations to the UN investigation team to punish the perpetrators of the possible chemical attack.

Syria has emphasized interest in cooperating with the UN team investigating chemical weapons use allegations and granted them all facilitations required, while the armed groups hindered their access to al-Muaddamiyah by shooting their convoy and prevented the investigators from accessing another site in Eastern Ghouta on Tuesday.
