Algiers, March 8, 2024 – In a significant development, Algeria has been elected to the vice-presidency of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), where it will now represent the African region.
Ambassador Salima Abdelhak’s election took place during the 105th session of the OPCW Executive Council.
Algeria’s Permanent Representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Ambassador Salima Abdelhak, has been elected to serve a one-year term starting from May 12, 2024.
During the general debate of the 105th session of the OPCW Executive Council, held in The Hague from March 5 to 8, Ms. Abdelhak cautioned against “the risks of the re-emergence of chemical weapons and the threat of their use by non-state actors, particularly in the context of ongoing armed conflicts worldwide.”
She expressed “Algeria’s concerns regarding the Palestinian tragedy and condemned the acts and atrocities committed by the Israeli occupier against the Palestinian people in blatant violation of international law.”
In this regard, she highlighted “the risk that the occupying power may resort to the use of chemical weapons in its war against the Palestinians, given that the Zionist occupation is not a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention and is not bound by its provisions.”
