Foley was speaking on Monday at a closed meeting of the Organisation
for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons' Executive Council, which was
called to discuss recent findings, including that a "non-state actor"
likely used the chemical agent sulfur mustard in August during fighting
in the Syrian town of Marea.
Foley says Syrian opposition forces were fighting the Islamic State group in the town close to the Turkish border.
The text of Foley's speech on Monday was posted on The Hague-based watchdog's website.
