Dashti & Khuri: UN human rights committee report on Syria is politicized to change facts

Geneva (ST): President of the International Council for Supporting Fair Trial and Human Rights, Dr. Abdul Hamid Dashti, stressed that the countries that conspire against Syria continue to support terrorist organizations which commit the ugliest crimes against Syrian citizens.

In an intervention he made at the 45th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva Dashti said “When the investigation committee mentions the bulk of the committed crimes, it bashfully talks about QِِASD militia which is backed by US occupation forces and attributes the crimes committed in Idleb to terrorist organizations and mercenaries without mentioning that they are working under Turkish patronage. They are perpetrating their crimes with support and funding of states hostile to the UN system”.

He added that although those countries are member states at the UN, they are the operators of all those terrorist groups, stressing that the committee knows them well but it is not transparent in mentioning them.

In turn, Representative of the Arab Lawyers’ Union at the UN Dr. Elias Khuri said in his intervention that the recent UN human rights committee report on Syria is politicized. He said, ” we smell hostility to Syria in this report, especially to the Syrian Arab army which has been defending Syria’s unity and territorial integrity since its establishment,” adding that the report is an attempt to change facts and hide the impact of terrorism, occupation, unilateral coercive measures and interference in Syria’s internal affairs.

He pointed out that the expansionist Turkish regime left its borders open for mercenary terrorists to enter Syria, kill its people and destroy its infrastructure.
