PA Speaker urges lifting coercive measures imposed on Syria to enable the country to secure medicine and medical equipment to citizens

National

Speaker of the People’s Assembly (PA) Hammouda Sabbagh has called for lifting the unilateral coercive economic measures imposed on the Syrian people so that Syria can secure all kinds of medicines and medical equipment as well as vaccines against different diseases, mainly the Corona pandemic.

Sabbagh, who was speaking on Wednesday during the online conference of the 142nd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), called for maintaining cooperation and solidarity among different countries of the world and for exchanging expertise and information with the aim of finding a specified formula to provide assistance to all peoples of the world and not to have a monopoly over the vaccines in the service of certain countries.

The PA Speaker warned that societies are experiencing a real and unprecedented human tragedy due to the Covid-19 pandemic and this tragedy has demonstrated the failure, fragility and weakness of the world order in protecting peoples, which is one of the principles on which this order was built. He pointed out the current divisions have led to a huge gap between countries of the world and to unfair distribution of resources which negatively affected setting up effective plans to reduce the impacts of the Corona pandemic.

 Sabbagh made it clear that the Syrian government has spared no effort to confront the outbreak of the Corona pandemic despite weak capabilities in the light of the coercive measures imposed on the Syrians that affected all aspects of their life.

The People’s Assembly participated over the past two days in the activities of the IPU’s assembly conference to discuss ways of overcoming the Corona pandemic as well as the world parliaments’ role in this regard.
