Human Rights Council Draft Resolution on Syria is Full of lies and False Events- al-Hamwi

GENEVA ,(ST) _  , Syria’s permanent representative to the UN Office in Geneva Dr. Faisal al-Hamwi stressed    that the  council ‘s draft resolution on the human rights situation in Syria is  biased and full of lies and  false events, in claiming that massacres took place in al-Qusair.

Reading  Syria ‘s  statement before the UN human Council on Friday  on the claim of the existence of  foreign fighters in Syria Hamwi  said :” the draft resolution  totally ignores the presence of mercenaries and jihadists from more than 40 countries , brought , funded and trained   by certain states sponsoring the project which refers to the decisions issued by the Arab League, that  Syria rejects because it no longer recognizes any role  by the AL ,  being transformed under pressure and control  of Qatar to partner  party in the crisis.”

Hamwi stressed that the draft resolution  eliminated  the  UN General Assembly Resolution No. 46-182, which  is considered by  all  world countries as a reference in the field of humanitarian aid in availing  exclusive right of states to supervise  and act in this area.

He cautioned all states to dangerous of being  exposed to such blatant piracy challenging its independence and national sovereignty, adding : “Perhaps the fatal mistake in the draft resolution  lies in encouraging support  for the jihadist terrorists with arms , a matter which undermines the principles of the  UN Charter and  the international law.”

He questioned , “if those who  bombed the  Lebanese territory with rockets and missiles , kidnapped bishops of the Orthodox community and Lebanese pilgrims and executed a 14- year old teenager  in front of his parents and many other crimes  deserve the support the Human Rights Council ? .”

Hamwi  continued that the international Investigation  committee  reversed its conclusion on   the use of sarin gas by armed terrorist groups, just few hours after it had indicated  an evidence  to its use by these  armed terrorist groups, stressing that many world  countries no longer trust the professionalism and credibility of this committee, which refused to refer to the role of Qatar and Turkey as  key actors in fueling the crisis in Syria.

He  called on  all UN Member States not to support the draft resolution because it sends  a message of support for extremism and terrorism , constitutes  a major threat to human rights situation in Syria and encourages divisions in Syrian society, which in its history only knew  tolerance and peace.

Worthy mentioning that world  media intelligence reports confirmed the presence of tens of thousands of foreign mercenaries from more than 64 nationalities , fighting in the ranks of terrorist groups, led by al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front.
