Al-Jaafari: UN Secretary General Statement on Applying General Assembly Decision Pushes Towards Aggravating Situation in Syria

Mar 03, 2012
NEW YORK, (SANA) – Syria's Permanent Representative at the UN Bashar al-Jaafari affirmed on Friday that the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's statement on applying the General Assembly decision which was adopted two weeks ago pushes towards aggravating the situation in Syria rather than finding solutions to it.

In a speech at the UN General Assembly, al-Jaafari said that the purport of statement isn't comforting at all, saying that he and many more were surprised by the fiery language used in dealing with the situation in Syria, a language that approaches the limits of defaming the government of a founding member state of the UN.

He noted that all of this is based on mere reports and opinions issued by the Syrian opposition located abroad in capitals of countries that are hostile to Syria, and also based on intelligence reports of other countries that are not only working to "change the regime" in Syria as they say, but rather working to change the state itself.
He wondered "how we can listen to the content of the UN-Secretary General's statement and at the same time understand that there is a high-ranking figure whom the UN and its Secretary-General want to task with a very important mission in the region including Syria to exert efforts in cooperation with the Syrian Government to halt the tragic events."
He added "How they say that Syria didn't agree on Amos' visit and from where they brought this inaccurate conclusion according to which the members of the UN Security Council adopted a press statement which completely adopts this mistaken view."
"Each government must protect its people from chaos, terrorism, criminality and from destabilizing the security and this is what the Syrian Government has done…The UN Secretary-General said in his statement that Syria didn't protect its people as it is required, but this is unfair as it ignores a lot of the data in an unforgivable way even if they are related to countries other than Syria ," al-Jaafari said.
He added that the presidents and foreign ministers of some countries which are member states at the UN clearly talk about supplying the opposition with weapons while a UN member state talks frankly about donating USD 100 million to arm the opposition and while other countries are imposing stifling economic sanctions on the Syrian economy in a way that mainly affects the Syrian people.
He affirmed that members of al-Qaeda were killed in Homs and foreign gunmen were also found in Syria, and some journalists infiltrated into Syria and they were killed in the events and some of them infiltrated again from Syria illegally and despite of this no one talks about this issue.
Al-Jaafari wondered about the reason for some sides to ignore infiltration of al-Qaeda members, illegal fighters and journalists, hundreds of millions of US dollars, Israeli weapons into Syria and if anyone can give a convincing reason for that.
He added that Syria considers that the UN General Assembly's adoption of decision 253/66 entitled "the state in the Syrian Arab Republic" is a wrong move because it hadn't any minimum factors of the diplomatic act in the UN where they didn't consult the Syrian government and they even rejected the Russian amendments to it.

"Based upon those points, the decision was distinctively biased that reflected a non-objective unilateral viewpoint away from what is really taking place in Syria whether in regards to its ignorance to the serious reforms in Syria and the criminal acts of the armed terrorist groups or to its support to unbalanced Arab League decisions," al-Jaafari said.

He added that it is obvious there is an unfamiliar, non-objective stumble and overlapping in the movements of the UN bodies regarding Syria including some sides' determination to hold successive, hasty meetings on Syria under different titles, thus moving from the state in the Middle East to "avoiding the outbreak of armed conflicts" and into the Human rights items refers to the presence of a legal problem in the UN's dealing with the state in Syria.
Al-Jaafari said that it was not understood why they presented an oral report about implementing the said decision before issuing the written report or awaiting the Syrian notes on the UN Secretary General letter sent to the Syrian government in this regard.
He underlined that the goal of all pressures on Syria is distinctively political to serve agendas of some countries that declare themselves enemy of Syria as government and people.
Al-Jaafari said that the comprehensive reform program in Syria was crowned by adopting a new constitution which guarantees the establishment of the Syrian democratic state, based on political pluralism and protecting the general freedoms.

He made clear that the Syrian government also called for conducting a national comprehensive dialogue with participation of all the Syrians including the national internal dialogue as the only way to overcome the painful events in Syria, but some Arab and international states instigated the opposition not to be engaged in the national dialogue and even provoked the armed groups not to give up their weapons.

Al-Jaafari said that Syria was not astonished at the clear statements of Saudi and Qatari foreign Ministers to arm the opposition as well as Libya's declaration to offer $ 100 million for the armed opposition.

He regretted over the fall of any victim in Syria, saying "help us halt bloodshed through stopping the media instigation, preventing weapon smuggling into Syria through encouraging the extremist members at the foreign opposition to engage in a real dialogue with the government."
