Al-Khoury: The International Committee on Human Rights on Syria is politicized

Geneva (ST): The representative of the Union of Arab Jurists to the United Nations, Dr. Elias Al-Khoury, condemned the practices of the American and Turkish occupation forces in Syria, pointing out that the so-called International Committee on Human Rights in Syria has worked since its inception with a politicized decision targeting this country to serve its sponsors and to ignore the real perpetrator of human rights violations.

In an intervention during the work of the 47th session of the Human Rights Council currently being held in Geneva, Al-Khoury explained that these practices are represented by terrorism and all forms of occupation and by unilateral coercive measures, especially the so-called Caesar Act and by foreign interventions in the internal affairs of Syria, in order to subject this country to imperialist hegemony and strangle the Syrian people slowly.

Al-Khoury pointed out that the expansionist Turkish regime opened its long borders with Syria to the influx of thousands of terrorists from all over the world to cross into Syria and commit acts of sabotage, theft, looting of antiquities, assaulting the population and pushing them to emigrate. He  also referred to the practices of the American occupation forces that occupy Syrian lands and steal oil and agricultural crops without respecting the Syrian sovereignty, which is guaranteed by international laws and norms.

For his part, the President of the International Council for Supporting Fair Trial and Human Rights, Dr. Abdul Hamid Dashti, explained in his intervention that the words of the delegations of some countries in the Human Rights Council today included fabrications and stories woven by the imagination of those who launched the aggression against Syria from UN member states after they planned, prepared  and armed terrorist organizations that worked for the countries hostile to Syria.

With regard to the presidential elections, Dashti said that the world witnessed the Syrian people exercising their right to elect their president on its constitutional date, thus renewing their confidence in Dr. Bashar al-Assad for a second presidential term.
