叙利亚周二表示，18名嫌疑人（包括高级军官）已被拘留，并将面临专门法庭审判，原因是他们涉嫌在前巴沙尔·阿萨德政权时期实施化学武器袭击，叙利亚阿拉伯新闻社（SANA）援引此消息报道。
Syria said Tuesday that 18 suspects, including senior officers, are in custody and facing a specialized court over chemical attacks committed under the former Bashar al-Assad regime, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
外交部长阿萨德·沙伊巴尼在大马士革与禁止化学武器组织（OPCW）总干事萨布丽娜·达拉菲奥尔举行的联合新闻发布会上发表了上述言论。
Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani made the remarks at a joint news conference in Damascus with Sabrina Dallafior, director-general of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
沙伊巴尼表示，叙利亚已向OPCW提交了超过10万份官方文件，并授予该组织查阅档案和证人的权限，作为解决该国化学武器问题的一部分努力。
Al-Shaibani said Syria had provided the OPCW with more than 100,000 official documents and granted the organization access to records and witnesses as part of efforts to resolve the country’s chemical weapons file.
他表示，大马士革于6月份着手更正继承自前政权的化学武器申报，新增了一处生产设施、两处储存设施以及他称之前被隐瞒的弹药。
He said Damascus moved in June to correct the chemical weapons declaration inherited from the former regime, adding one production facility, two storage facilities and munitions that he said had previously been concealed.
根据沙伊巴尼的说法，该进程于8月达到高潮，在OPCW监督下销毁了42枚已申报的化学航空炸弹，他称这是自2014年以来在叙利亚领土上首次得到核实的销毁行动。
According to al-Shaibani, the process culminated in August with the destruction of 42 declared chemical aerial bombs under OPCW supervision, which he described as the first verified destruction on Syrian territory since 2014.
他说，叙利亚于7月9日恢复了在OPCW中的全部权利和特权，周二的讨论聚焦于制定一份路线图，以实现该国化学武器问题的最终了结。
He said Syria regained its full rights and privileges within the OPCW on July 9 and that discussions Tuesday focused on a roadmap toward the final closure of the country’s chemical weapons file.
沙伊巴尼表示，了结该文件的第一步是确保受害者得到正义并防止此类袭击再次发生，他补充说，目前有18名嫌疑人（包括高级军官）被拘留，并正在接受专门法庭的审判。
Al-Shaibani said closing the file begins with ensuring justice for victims and preventing a recurrence of such attacks, adding that 18 suspects, including senior officers, are currently detained and appearing before a specialized court.
他表示，仍然存在挑战，包括地雷、受损场地以及前政权可能隐藏或毁坏的记录，这些因素使得全面厘清其化学武器项目范围的工作变得复杂。
He said challenges remain, including mines, damaged sites and records that the former regime had either concealed or destroyed, complicating efforts to establish the full scope of its chemical weapons program.
达拉菲奥尔方面表示，自她两个月前上任以来，访问叙利亚一直是她的首要任务，包括会见受害者并前往该国的相关场地进行考察。
For her part, Dallafior said visiting Syria had been a priority since she took office two months ago, including meeting victims and visiting sites in the country.
她说，从防扩散角度来看，确保任何阿萨德时代化学武器计划的残余是首要任务，这有助于保护叙利亚人民和更广泛的地区。
She said securing any remnants of the Assad-era chemical weapons program was a priority from a non-proliferation perspective and would help protect both the Syrian people and the wider region.
达拉菲奥尔表示，OPCW在与叙利亚政府合作下，于7月销毁了一批化学武器，她将此举描述为一个里程碑，也是成功多边合作的成果。
Dallafior said the OPCW, in cooperation with the Syrian government, destroyed a number of chemical weapons in July, describing the move as a milestone and a result of successful multilateral cooperation.
她补充说，该组织仍在调查之前的化学武器袭击事件并追究责任方，旨在防止化学武器再次被使用。
She added that the organization continues to investigate previous chemical attacks and identify those responsible, with the aim of preventing the use of chemical weapons again.
叙利亚于2013年加入《化学武器公约》，此前发生了大马士革东部古塔地区的致命化学武器袭击事件。
Syria joined the Chemical Weapons Convention in 2013 following a deadly chemical attack in Eastern Ghouta near Damascus.
2021年，OPCW成员国因叙利亚未能解决与化学武器使用和申报相关的问题，暂停了其投票权和其他特权。
In 2021, OPCW member states suspended Syria’s voting rights and other privileges over its failure to address issues related to the use and declaration of chemical weapons.
2024年12月阿萨德政权垮台后，叙利亚新当局承诺将全面配合OPCW，以处理该国的化学武器档案，定位并消除残余的化学武器及相关材料。
Following the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, Syria’s new authorities pledged full cooperation with the OPCW to address the country’s chemical weapons file and locate and eliminate remaining chemical weapons and related materials.
2026年5月，叙利亚当局宣布发现此前未申报的阿萨德政权化学武器计划残余，包括化学弹药和与沙林生产相关的材料。
In May 2026, Syrian authorities announced the discovery of previously undeclared remnants of the Assad regime’s chemical weapons program, including chemical munitions and materials related to the production of sarin.
OPCW于7月9日恢复了叙利亚的权利和特权，此前该国新当局与化学武器监督机构的合作有所加强。
The OPCW restored Syria’s rights and privileges on July 9 following increased cooperation between the country’s new authorities and the chemical weapons watchdog.
