Syria's permanent delegate to the United Nations, Dr. Bashar Jaafari, stressed the need to put an end to the economic, commercial, financial and health terrorism that unilateral coercive measures imposed by Western countries on Syria imply, noting that achieving any improvement in the humanitarian situation requires cooperation and coordination with the Syrian state and refraining from politicizing humanitarian work These states' abandonment of their policies based on the imposition of coercive measures and preconditions for humanitarian and development work.
Al-Jaafari indicated during a video session of the Security Council today via video on the humanitarian situation in Syria that Syria has recently, at one time or another, in cooperation with a number of other UN member states, to send official letters and appeals to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and successive Security Council heads to demand action to raise These illegal economic coercive measures imposed by the member states of this organization on the Syrian people and a number of friendly peoples, pointing out that these calls received a positive resonance from the Secretary-General and a number of senior officials of the organization, including the special envoy to Syria, Pederson and the Special Rapporteur on the effects of coercive measures on human rights and the Special Rapporteur on the right to food, the World Health Organization and others more than forty UN organizations demanding an end to coercive unilateral measures suffered by nearly two billion people of the population of the affected countries, including and international.
Al-Jaafari pointed out that, in exchange for these positions, the American administration and its allies preferred to persist in their violations of international law, the United Nations Charter and human rights instruments and have intent during the past two months to thwart any initiatives or draft resolutions that include demanding an end to the negative effects of unilateral coercive measures on the ability to address the health sector And service in the countries targeted by the Corona epidemic, and not only that, but the American administration announced the extension of unilateral unjust sanctions imposed on the Syrian people, striking a wall with international law and the United Nations Charter Decisions and calls for all to put an end to these procedures in the position represents a new step in the hostile policies towards Syria refutes any humanitarian allegations promoted by the administration and its allies on the tongues of their representatives in the United Nations and beyond.
Al-Jaafari clarified that Syria has repeatedly informed the Security Council over the past years of the catastrophic effects of coercive economic measures on the daily life of 24 million Syrians and the ability of state institutions and the health, economic and service sectors in Syria to carry out its tasks in an optimal manner. The Corona epidemic has increased the magnitude of the burdens and challenges that These measures represent and once again highlight the allegations promoted by some western countries, which have recently refused even to allow Syrian planes to return the Syrian citizens stranded in some European countries to their homeland, as the clarifications issued by the The European Commission recently on coercive measures to demonstrate once again that these actions only harm people and to confirm the non-intention of these countries to lift these measures that lack any acceptable moral, economic or political basis, calling on the Security Council to instruct the General Secretariat to submit a comprehensive report within a period not exceeding thirty days On the catastrophic effects of these measures on the Syrian people.
Al-Jaafari pointed out that the coercive measures imposed by the European Union and the United States are illegal, which is an attempt to circumvent the legitimacy of the Security Council and aims to undermine the sovereignty of the Syrian state, stating that the prospects for European and American humanitarian and medical supplies to Syria are at zero levels due to the imposition of a wide range of restrictions and preconditions for these and that supplies all promoted by Western countries that impose coercive measures on Syria is only a desperate attempt new "to humanize" the brutal behavior of terrorism and
economic and collective punishment practiced against the Syrian people , but Syria will not Delude claims these countries will never succumb to its dictates.
Al-Jaafari reaffirmed Syria's position on the Brussels donor conferences that these conferences are merely publicity and promotional activities aimed at serving the agendas of the governments of some of the organized countries and participating in them in the politicization of humanitarian work and the imposition of their politicized conditions, stressing that Syria does not recognize any meetings or initiatives held around it without their participation and full coordination With it and renews its demand by the United Nations not to participate in such conferences in order to preserve the integrity of its role and respect for humanitarian standards.
Al-Jaafari indicated that the Turkish occupation forces in northwestern Syria and the American occupation forces in northeastern Syria and in the Al-Tanf region in which the Rakban camp is located continue to support terrorist organizations and their separatist militia, which was confirmed by the confessions of a number of terrorists affiliated with ISIS who fell into the grip The Syrian Arab Army recently confirmed that they received training at the hands of the terrorist organization “Commandos of the Revolution” under the supervision of the American occupation forces in Al-Tanf, pointing out that all this is being done in light of the silence applied by the Security Council in which some permanent members seek to make it a platform for NATO and a shadow. To defend its allies in this alliance, regardless of their violations of international law and the principles and purposes of the United Nations.
Al-Jaafari said that the "Jabhat Al-Nusra" organization and its partner terrorist organizations had reorganized their forces in its northwestern regions to launch more terrorist attacks, including the "Guardians of the Din" and "Turkestan Party" terrorist organizations ... the moderates as some like to describe them. Attacking one of the Syrian Arab Army's military points in the village of Tanjra, adjacent to the Sahel Al-Ghab, which led to the rise of a number of martyrs and the injury of others, as well as the terrorist elements of the “Turkistan Party” supported by Turkey destroying the tower of the Zeyzoun Thermal Power Station in Idlib countryside, which Its value alone amounted to about $ 44 million after they had plundered, in cooperation with Turkish technicians, the equipment of the plant, which has a total value of $ 660 million, and transported it into Turkish territory through the crossings that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs “OCHA” claims to be “humanitarian” It is controlled by terrorist organizations and its Turkish sponsor, in addition to the terrorist organization "Al-Nusra Front" which continues its crimes, the most recent of which was drilling operations to extract metal pipes, copper cables and telephone extension wires to sell in the Turkish markets.
Al-Jaafari pointed out that the Turkish regime again violates its obligations under international law and agreements governing international water and rivers by constructing the "Elisu" dam on the course of the Tigris River and starting to fill the industrial dam lake, which will deprive millions of Syrians and Iraqis for years of benefiting from the water of the Tigris River and continues to use Water as a weapon against Syrian civilians in the city of Hasaka and the neighboring population centers, where it once again cut water from the Alouk station to deprive a million Syrians of drinking water, which is a prescribed war crime and a crime against humanity calling for emergency meetings of the Security Council to end them and not War criminals accountable in the Turkish regime on them instead of blind to these crimes and emergency sessions held one after the other on fabricated and artificial issues.
Al-Jaafari pointed out that the American occupation forces prevented the work of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent in the regions of northeastern Syria and sought to replace it with illegal organizations that are not recognized by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the Turkish regime also sent the Turkish Red Crescent to operate in the areas it occupies in the north and northwest Syria and preventing the Syrian Arab Red Crescent from working in it and attacking its headquarters and looting and attacking its employees, and this is similar to what the Israeli occupation has done since its occupation of the Syrian Golan in 1967 to settle the Israeli and Turkish occupation in violation of the decisions of the conference Cisse International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Al-Jaafari said that what is worse is that the Turkish regime has pitted its terrorist organizations against the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and urged them to prevent humanitarian access from the inside to create pretexts for extending the work across the border, which is a customary practice that we and our humanitarian partners have previously seen in a number of regions, including the eastern regions And southern countries with the aim of granting excuses to extend work across the borders and to facilitate the smuggling of weapons, equipment and supplies to terrorist organizations, stressing Syria's position rejecting cross-border work and its demand once again to close the OCHA office in Gaziantep, which has made itself a tool for terrorist organizations and for For anti-Syrian countries and a bugle for lies and a platform for misleading the Security Council and world public opinion, stressing that achieving any improvement in the humanitarian situation requires full cooperation and full coordination with the Syrian state and refraining from politicizing humanitarian work and the reluctance of Western countries from their policies based on the imposition of coercive measures and preconditions and loyalties to humanitarian and development work .
