NAIROBI, (ST)- The terrorist war waged on Syria with support from several countries has caused huge destruction in the economic, social and environmental structure and has greatly damaged the infrastructure and the valuable cultural and archeological Syrian heritage, Syria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations Office in Nairobi Sawsan al-Ani has stressed.

In a speech at the first session of the UN-Habitat Assembly in Nairobi, Kenya, titled “for Better Urban Future”, al-Ani said that the unilateral coercive economic measures illegally  imposed by some western and regional countries on Syria since 2011 have hindered the implementation of the goals of sustainable development plan for 2030 and they caused huge loss in the structure of the Syrian economy and the potentials of the Syrian state, civil society and  private sector.

 She explained the disastrous impacts of continuous Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan, pointing out that Israel keeps exploiting Golan resources, deprive people of Golan from their basic rights and confiscating their lands.

She pointed out that Syria has launched the first National Report on Sustainable Development for 2019 in order to stress its commitment to sustainable development and its international goals till 2030 in a way that goes in harmony with national priorities and development initiatives with the aim of tackling the impacts of the crisis, releasing the potentials of the society and economy and enhancing all components of human development.

Al-Ani called on the UN-HABITAT Program and other concerned international organizations to adopt urgent and necessary procedures to observe and confront the negative impacts of the coercive economic measures imposed on Syria, to re-launch the development process and to alleviate the Syrians’ suffering through providing support for implementing sustainable development programs and plans away from political considerations and conditions of the donor parties.
