Syria said Friday UN top prosecutor Serge Brammertz, investigating murder of former Lebanese Premier Rafik Hariri, would notify UN secretary general Ban Ki-Moon with names of 10 countries failing to cooperate with the investigation commission.
There is a compromise among parties concerned that names of the 10 countries will be handed over to Ban in a separate letter to take note of them, Ambassador Bashar Al-Jaafari, Syria's envoy to UN, told the Syrian radio.
He said Brammertz commission had prepared a mechanism to facilitate resolution of outstanding issues with these 10 countries.
Jaafari said the report of Brammertz was positive regarding how Syria was cooperating with the investigation commission.
Brammertz said in his report to the UN Security Council (UNSC) yesterday that syria's cooperation with his panel remains "generally satisfactory".
Syria "continued to provide the Commission with assistance in response to its requests within the appropriate timescales, and the Commission is grateful for the logistical and security arrangements provided by Syrian authorities for its activities in Syria," Brammertz said.
Jaafari said the last three missions of the commission in Syria received great facilitations and coordination.
Jaafari said Brammertz's report did not mention the 10 countries.
But Brammertz said "almost all outstanding matters (with these states) were resolved to the Commission's satisfaction, with responses received, and where appropriate, mechanisms introduced to facilitate the resolution of pending issues."
