Madrid 13 (Europa Press) –
The Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, has requested this Thursday a “credible and impartial” investigation of the recent deaths that have been recorded in recent weeks in Syria, most of them from the Alauí minority, and stressed that “all violence must cease.”
“Nothing can justify the murder of civilians, as reported in recent days. All violence must cease, and there must be a credible, independent and impartial investigation of the violations and those responsible must account for accounts,” said the Secretary General in a statement.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has encrypted in about 1,400 dead civilians in the framework of the fighting registered at the end of last week and triggered after a series of attacks by loyal group to former president Bashar al Assad who took the new authorities to launch a large -scale operation.
The transition president, Ahmed al Shara, leader of the Yihadista Hayat Tahrir Al Sham (HTS), announced on Sunday the implementation of an independent national commission composed of seven magistrates, who will investigate the recent massacres.
“Bold and decisive measures”
Guterres has stressed that the new Syrian authorities “have committed” to build an inclusive new country. “Bold and decisive measures are needed to ensure that all Syrians, regardless of their ethnic origin, religion, political affiliation or gender, can live in security, dignity and without fear,” he said.
In this regard, he said that the UN “is willing to work together with the Syrian people and support an inclusive political transition that guarantees accountability”, as well as allowing the country to be reimbursed again in the international community.
Guterres has indicated that the “brilliant and deserved” future of Syria “hangs from a thread”, so it is necessary to “act.” “Since December 8, there is a renewed hope that Syrians can draw a different path and have the opportunity to rebuild, reconcile and create a nation where everyone can live in peace and dignity,” he said.
The Secretary General also recalled on the anniversary of the war that the conflict left “hundreds of thousands” of people “killed, missing, tortured.” “The war saw the use of chemical weapons and the bombs indiscriminately killed men, women and children,” he recalled.
Although the Syrian war “became one of the most devastating conflicts in the world, with an incalculable human cost,” his people “never hesitated in his firm and brave calls for freedom, dignity and a fair future.”
Al Shara, known by his war name, Abú Mohamed al Golani, was put in front of the country as president of transition after the fall of Al Assad, who fled in December to Russia, giving folder to about a quarter of a century at the head of the country after succeeding in 2000 to his father, Hafez al Assad, who directed Syria since 1971.
