The world’s attention has moved away from Syria following the battle for Aleppo, despite the fact that the last few months have been “some of the worst” for civilians, the UN humanitarian chief has told the Security Council, reiterating calls for an end to the six year conflict.
The UN should take action in accordance with international absolute law (the Humanitarian Law, the World Human Rights Law, the Crime of Misdemeanors and the Prohibition of Genocide) and provide a basic outline for a constitution that will prove suitable for peaceful development in Syria. It should incorporate universal values and democratic mechanisms that will insure separation of powers and elected officials responsive to the needs of the people, to help Syria develop in an environment of lasting peace.
