New York - SANA
NEW YORK, (SANA) – Syria's Permanent Representative to the UN, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, on Wednesday said that the UN considers that the subject of protecting civilians in armed conflicts cannot be approached selectively.
In a statement before the UN Security Council, al-Jaafari added that this issue is related only to armed conflicts.
"That is why we consider that the protection of the Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese civilians from the Israeli occupation is a basic part of this issue, especially that the Council has discussed this important matter for a long time in the light of the grave and continuous Israeli violations against the civilian population in the occupied Arab territories," al-Jaafari added.
He indicated that "A cause for concern is that some member states- which we listen to their statements concerning the protection of civilians in armed conflicts- sometimes set their own selective concept of protecting civilians in armed conflicts, a concept that is contrary to the International Human Law (IHL)."
"Jurisprudence considers that the international efforts which are aimed at protecting civilians in cases of armed conflicts should be exerted in the framework of respecting the principles of the UN Charter, which stress the importance of respecting the sovereignty and independence of the countries and not interfering in their internal affairs. These efforts should also be in compliance with the rules of Geneva Conventions and the IHL." al-Jaafari said.
He stressed the need for not confusing the issue of protecting civilians in armed conflicts with the threats to the international security and peace, adding that using expressions from outside the UN ethics –such as "the responsibility of interference" and "humanitarian interference"- should be avoided because it will harm the creditability and non-alignment of the UN and undermine the efforts exerted to protect civilians in armed conflicts.
"It is an odd paradox that with the development of the international law concepts, the suffering of civilians during conflicts increased as the number of these conflicts themselves increased. The phenomenon of forgiving foreign military occupation forces for violating the international law has aggravated." al-Jaafari pointed out.
"are occupying countries which are members in the UN outside the framework of the international legitimacy and killing millions of their civilian population aimed at protecting those civilians? Are the calls, which were made in this Council today and in previous occasions, to change regimes in some UN-member countries are within the framework of the noble purpose of protecting civilians in armed conflicts?" He asked.
He went on asking "How can we explain the killing of 130 thousand Libyans under the pretext of protecting Libya's civilians? How can we explain the statement of the US Department of State's spokeswoman which stipulated a clear call for the armed groups in Syria not to surrender their weapons in line with the Syrian government general amnesty granted to all persons who surrender their weapons? Doesn't this statement mean that there is a US involvement in the violence in Syria? Aren't the US policies, which are supported by some European countries, thwarting the work of the Arab League and its initiative?"
"Isn't avoiding the issue of the Israeli reckless settlement, which threatens the peace principle, contradicts the most important right of the Palestinian and Syrian civilians who are under the Israeli occupation?" he asked.
al-Jaafari said, "We don't know how long the continuous Israeli occupation of the Arab territories- including the occupied Syrian Golan, Jerusalem, Shebaa farms and al- Ghajar village- can be ignored. We don't know why we don't see the same enthusiasm in the countries whose representatives went too far today in expressing their keenness on protecting civilians in specific parts of the world and used the Security Council, whose main task is protecting the international peace and security, as a platform to pass curtailed explanation of the subject of protecting civilians in armed conflicts."
al-Jaafari concluded "Representatives of the colonial countries, especially France and Britain, make a mistake when they think that the human memory can't recall the crimes against humanity they have committed throughout decades of colonization."
