Al-Jaafari asks the UN International Commission of Inquiry on Syria to view Syria’s crisis more comprehensively
New York (ST)-Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari called on the Chairman of the UN International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, Paulo Pinheiro to view the current crisis in Syria more comprehensively by calling the spade a spade and tackling the real causes of the problem, instead of approaching it from a one-sided perspective.
Speaking during a UN General Assembly session to discuss the human rights in Syria, Dr. al-Jaafari said ” The Commission of Inquiry on Syria is still deliberately exaggerating when displaying its findings, also fully disregarding or downplaying core issues.”
”There are scenes that flagrantly violate the Syrians’ dignity and human rights such as the crimes of the armed terrorist groups, ranging from eating human flesh, killing innocents, slaughtering and mutilating bodies, beheadings on sectarian and ethnic grounds, throwing bodies from rooftops to committing hundreds of suicide bombings using car bombs in populated areas, recruiting children, kidnapping and slaughtering clergymen, assassinating scholars in mosques, issuing misleading fatwas on ‘sexual jihad’, killing children on the charges of infidelity, robbing factories and transporting them to Turkey,” al-Jaafari said.
Al-Jaafari pointed out that the world followed with great interest the testimony of member of the International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, Carla del Ponte, in which she confirmed the use of Sarin gas by the armed terrorist groups in Khan al-Assal in Aleppo and then hours later, pressures had been exerted on the Commission’s chairperson that pushed him to issue a statement contesting del Ponte’s findings. So, after this how we can trust the Committee’s work and professionalism?
Dr.al-Jaafari criticized the western governments supporting the radical terrorism in Syria in cahoots with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. ”Saudi Arabia’s latest achievement in Ramadan was the purchase of Israeli arms worth USD 50 millions to be shipped to the armed terrorist groups in Syria…which we hope will be the last one during Ramadan,” Dr. al-Jaafari added.
