The United Nations demands accountability for Syrian mass removal

Geneva: The UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday called for those behind the “massive scale” forced disappearance in Syria during the last decade of conflict that will be accounted for.
Resolution, presented by the United Kingdom and a number of European countries, together with the United States, Turkey and Qatar, canceled that the Syrian crisis has entered the second decade “marked by a consistent pattern of serious violations.” The war in Syria has killed nearly 500,000 people since it began in 2011, with all parties in increasingly complex conflicts accused of war crimes.
Tuesday’s resolution was adopted with 26 of 47 supporting board members, six opposed and 15 Abstain, voiced special concerns about the fate of tens of thousands of people who had disappeared.
Text “Very condemning continuous use of forced or forced disappearances in the Syrian Arab Republic, and related human rights violations, which have been carried out with consistency, especially by the Syrian regime.” It also criticized forced disappearances by other parties with conflict, including the group of Islamic countries, but said the Syrian regime was the main actor.
The resolution voiced alarm in the last comment by the United Nations Independent Investigation Commission on the rights situation in Syria which showed that “widespread removal was deliberately carried out by Syrian security forces over the past decade.” The researchers have indicated that such disappearances have been used “to spread fear, inhibit differences of opinion and as a punishment,” and that tens of thousands of men, women, boys and girls are detained by the Syrian authorities “remain forcibly disappear”.
Presenting the resolution to the Board, the British Ambassador Simon Manley slammed the role of a regime in a large number of disappearances “just could not be forgiven.” The regime, he said, “has a bureaucratic way to provide information about this lost individual, the means to end the suffering of families and people who are loved by these people.” “But it chose not to hire it.
This is an intentional action from unspeakable cruelty.” He echoed the accusation in the resolution, accusing the power of Damascus “deliberately extending the suffering of hundreds of thousands of family members.” This emphasizes “accountability requirements, including for crimes committed with respect to forced disappearance,” emphasizing that “accountability is very important in peace negotiations and the process of building peace.”
