"Doha meeting condemns Syria regime’s attacks
QNA/Doha
The Friends of the Syrian People International Working Group on Sanctions (the Group) strongly condemned the continuing attacks by the Syrian regime against the Syrian people and the regime’s continuing brutality and denial of the legitimate political aspirations of the Syrian people.
In a communique issued following its third meeting in Doha yesterday, which was co-chaired by Qatar, Japan, and the United Kingdom, the Group expressed its grave concern about the serious deterioration of the situation in Syria in recent days.
It also agreed that these developments underlined the need for sustained and increased pressure on the Syrian regime to bring an end to the violence, including through the adoption of stronger measures against those most responsible for the violence.
In this regard, the Group reaffirmed the call made by the Friends of the Syrian People at its meeting in Paris on July 6 for the UN Security Council to support Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan by urgently adopting a resolution under Chapter VII of the UN Charter that enforces the Joint Special Envoy’s six-point plan, endorses the Action Group Geneva communique, and imposes sanctions on the Syrian regime, including asset freezes and travel bans for continued non-compliance.
The Group agreed that the Syrian regime’s escalating violence and the suffering of the Syrian people is intolerable, and that the regime’s actions are undertaken to perpetuate its illegitimate hold on power in Syria.
The Group noted strong international support for the UN Human Rights Council resolution (A/HRC/20/L.22) of July 6, which condemned the “widespread, systematic, and gross violations of human rights; acts of violence; on-going atrocities; and indiscriminate targeting of civilians by Syrian authorities,” which “might amount to crimes against humanity.”
The Group called upon all members of the international community to join with the Friends of the Syrian People to isolate the Syrian regime and its supporters by adopting and enforcing targeted restrictive measures."
This is the same line they have been repeating but what can the UNSC do when Russia keeps veto-ing any sanctions against Syria's BA?
