Syria calls for dissolution of US-led coalition
[Iran Press TV] Syria has reiterated its calls for the dissolving of the US-led coalition over its "continued and systematic massacre" of civilians."Syria renews its call to immediately dissolve the coalition which was established outside the framework of the UN and without requesting permission from the Syrian government," said Syria’s Foreign Ministry in two letters sent to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the chairman of the UNSC on Sunday. The letters stressed that the coalition’s continued destruction of residential neighborhoods and the use of phosphorus munitions are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian laws. They further called on the UNSC to carry out its responsibility of preserving international peace and security, and urged all states to abide by the UNSC resolutions, especially resolution No. 2253. UNSC Resolution 2253, adopted unanimously in December 2015, covers asset freeze, travel ban, arms embargo and listing criteria for ISIS, al-Qaeda Posted by: Fred 2017-08-07 |
