UK’s Resolution at UNHRC on Eastern Ghouta Encourages Terrorists to Continue Their Crimes against Syrians

National

DAMASCUS, (ST)-The UK’s resolution at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Syria’s Eastern Ghouta sends a message of support to the terrorist organizations, which violate all human rights in Syria, and encourages them to continue their crimes against the Syrians, according to an official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.

The UK’s new move and the adoption  of the resolution shows the flagrant politicization of the human rights file and the employment of the UN bodies, mainly the UNHRC, to serve political agendas, the source told SANA on Tuesday.

The countries that proposed the draft resolution failed to get a consensus despite the pressure they practiced, the source said, noting that 4 UNHRC member states voted against this biased selective resolution, which  depends on double standards policy in dealing with human rights issues,  while 14 other states abstained from voting.

 The source made clear failure to get consensus indicates division within UNHRC in particular and within the United Nations in general regarding the situation in Eastern Ghouta and regarding attempts to politicize and exploit UN mechanisms to destabilize specific countries.

The British resolution gives more support for the terrorists to continue targeting civilians in Damascus and to keep holding civilians as hostages and human shields by preventing them from leaving Ghouta through the safe corridors assigned by the Syrian government for civilians to exit the area, the source said, clarifying that these practices blatantly violate Resolution No. 2401.

The source went on to say that the Syrian government has been committed to all the rules of the international humanitarian law and fulfilled its obligations in this regard, referring to the government’s  keenness on opening safe corridors to evacuate civilians of eastern Ghouta and its approval on the delivery of a joint UN-ICRC aid convoy consisting of 46 trucks to Ghouta on Monday March 5th in cooperation with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent.

The source concluded by saying that the Syrian government affirms its right to defend its citizens, to combat terrorism and confront all the parties that support, finance, and arm terrorists and that such politicized and biased stances won’t stop Syria from pressing ahead with fighting terrorism and restore security and stability to the entire Syrian territory.
