Hariri sends a legal note to the international community regarding hostilities for the Assad regime
The head of the Syrian National Coalition, Dr. Nasr Al-Hariri, addressed a legal memorandum to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, the President of the United Nations General Assembly, Volkan Bozker, and the President of the Security Council for the current session, Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield, regarding the Assad regime’s bombing of the Atareb hospital, the Qah camp and the crossing surroundings
Bab al-Hawa and other civilian areas in northwestern Syria.
Hariri stressed that it has become an obligation for the international community to take effective measures that avoid Russia’s continued behavior in preventing the Security Council from carrying out its duties in saving the Syrian people from genocide and in implementing its commitment according to its decisions.
Hariri pointed out that the credibility of the United Nations is at stake, adding that further impunity for the Assad regime deepens the culture of fulfilling the truth in itself, and threatens the future of peace and stability in the region and the world.
He also stressed that these crimes are a clear violation of de-escalation agreements, all Security Council resolutions that provide for a ceasefire, the principles of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, the four Geneva Conventions and their appendices, the Rome Statute, and the relevant international agreements.
Hariri called on the three parties to restrict the memorandum in their documents, to distribute it to representatives of member states, to condemn the hostilities of Russia, the Assad regime, Iran and terrorist organizations, and to work hard to stop them, and to announce effective measures that are bound to comply with international decisions.
Al-Hariri called for work to remove the representation of the Assad regime in international forums, due to its violations of the principles and the Charter of the United Nations, or at least work to stop the Assad regime from exercising membership rights and benefits in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of the Charter.
He renewed the call to support the efforts of the political track to achieve a political transition, and not to allow the Assad regime to thwart it again, stressing that a radical solution in Syria requires reaching a political solution with the full implementation of the Geneva Declaration and Security Council resolutions, especially 2118 and 2254 and General Assembly resolutions, including 67/262.
