France Rejects Russian Claim on 'Biased' U.N. Syria Report
France on Wednesday rejected a claim by Russia that a UN report on the use of chemical weapons in Syria was biased.
"Nobody can question the objectivity of the people (inspectors) appointed by the UN," Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told a press conference here, adding that he was "very surprised" by Russia's assertion, made earlier in the day by deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov.
