Syria Urges Serious Global Measures to Counter Terrorism

Syria Urges Serious Global Measures to Counter Terrorism
Alwaght- Syria called on the United Nations and its member states to seriously combat terrorism and put pressure on countries which support terrorism to stop their violation of international law and UN charter.
According to Syrian news agency, SANA, Syria’s Envoy to the UN, Bashar Al-Jaafari has made the comments in two letters sent to the UN Secretary General and President of Security Council.
Part of the letter notes that, “While the UN commemorates the 10th anniversary of adopting resolution No. 1624 for 2005 on banning provocation of violation and terrorism, The Syrian Arab Republic’s government renews its call on the UN and its member states to seriously and truly adhere to combating terrorism and put contexts, adopted for several years, into effect and press countries which support terrorism to stop their violation of international law and UN charter.”
“Terrorism which has been targeting Syria, as government and people, since more than 4 years, has reached unprecedented limits in its crimes and brutality as we informed Security Council with the terrorist attacks in Syria, the latest of which, the rocket shells on Damascus and Aleppo and the terrorist explosions in al-Hasaka which took place on September 14th, 2015,” al-Jaafari said.
The Syrian UN envoy expressed regret that some member states failed to adhere to Security Council resolutions on counter-terrorism. He added that governments of some member countries, like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar still offer all forms of support to terrorism and terrorists and still politicize issues of counter-terrorism and deal with them in a scandalized double standards.
Al-Jaafari said it is impossible to overcome terrorism, represented by ISIS, al-Nusra Front  and other al-Qaeda-linked organizations, which pose threat to the international peace and security, without coordination and cooperation with the Syrian government.
He added that attempts by the US, Britain, France, Canada and Australia to justify their intervention in Syria as combating ISIS, according to Article 51 of the UN charter, without coordination with the Syrian government, is a distortion to the rules of the UN convention and “a manipulation” in the international law to target the Syrian sovereignty.
