Ppe: Franco Frattini illustra la risoluzione urgente sulla Siria
17th to the 18th
October 2012
Syria
The European People's
Party, considering:
· the Assad dictatorship in Syria is
one of the worst recent examples of a totally delegitimised regime that
continues to kill innocent people and so commit massive crimes, affecting
fundamental human rights;
· the international community has been
divided, so far, and thus very weak in
addressing this violent crisis, in particular by not achieving consensus in the
UN Security Council on effective political, economic and humanitarian strategic
plans;
· after the failure of Kofi Annan’s
plan, Mr Brahimi seems to be reflecting on a strong proposal, which includes
sending peace keeping and humanitarian UN forces on the ground;
· the dramatic evolution of the
crisis, where Iran continues to support the regime thereby working against the
efforts of the Arab League and the Islamic International Conference as well as
other key countries, is affecting hundreds of thousands of Syrians: around
30.000 have been killed, others are forced to leave the country.
· Syria also became the strongest
example of extreme religious intolerance with recent crimes and acts of
discrimination committed against ethnic and religious minorities, including
prisoners.
· Turkey, earlier a close partner of
Syria, has been trying, since the outbreak of the crisis, to play a bridging
role in Syria for a peaceful transition to democracy, including the resignation
of Assad and his close supporters.
· The number of Syrian refugees to
neighbouring states have tripled over the past three months and living
conditions in the refugee camps are extremely difficult; these conditions are
expected to worsen further more as winter is approaching the region.
. There is a growing concern for the possibility that extremist forces marginalize the democratic components of syrian society and jeopardize the real aspirations of the syrian revolution, and those components of syrian community, muslisms and christians alike.
. There is a growing concern for the possibility that extremist forces marginalize the democratic components of syrian society and jeopardize the real aspirations of the syrian revolution, and those components of syrian community, muslisms and christians alike.
This requires urgent
international attention.
For all these reasons,
the EPP, considering that the Syrian regime has irreversibly lost its legitimacy:
1. Appeals to the
European Union, UN and Arab League to multiply and strengthen their efforts, in
order to finally agree on a strategic, concerted plan, which, under UN
responsibility, should first of all put an end to violence and give Syrians an
opportunity to build a new tolerant and elected leadership.
In so doing, a robust
UN peacekeeping and humanitarian protection force should also be considered.
2. Dramatic
deterioration of daily life and humanitarian conditions of Syrians in the
country and of those that took refuge abroad should be immediately addressed.
3. In particular, the
European Union and its member states should send humanitarian aid to affected
member states, like Cyprus, and to neighbours of the EU, namely Turkey and
Jordan, to face the flows of refugees that already amount to hundreds of
thousands. In particular we should make specific efforts to meet the needs of
child refugees and unaccompanied children, whose traumatic experience might
pose a major obstacle to the future development of Syrian society; calls in
this respect for access to at least a provisional form of elementary education
for all child refugees.
In this regard, the
good example set by the European union in the years 2005-2007 with the
strategic burden sharing plan for Iraqi refugees flowing to the Middle East,
could be recalled and studied carefully.
4. While dealing with
all the urgent humanitarian implications of the Syrian crisis, including
keeping the extraordinary added value represented by the multi-religious trait
of Syrian society, the EU and its international partners should reflect upon a
political perspective for the mid-term.
On this issue we
should promote, through political action, further consolidation of the various
components of the Syrian opposition, in order to help the opponents of Assad’s
regime build a cohesive proposal of a road map for a free Syria, including a
step towards democratic elections and a constitutional process that safeguards
everybody’s rights.
On all these
principles, the EPP is committed to contributing in all political and institutional
frameworks to reaching a global alliance and a shared vision for the good of
millions of human beings whose fundamental rights are gravely and continuously
violated.
