UN General Assembly passes a resolution drafted by Saudi Arabia on the state of human rights in Syria, calling for enhancing human rights in Syria 2 New York
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 20 - 11 - 2013

Maalami, the Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations, said the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as it is presenting in its own name and on behalf of the State of Kuwait, State of Qatar and the State of the United Arab Emirates a draft resolution under the title "state of human rights in Syria" feels painful and sorry in the same way the peace-loving world is disappointed for the continuation of the horrible state of human rights in Syria, characterized by killings, displacement and other kinds of human rights violations and the use of all kinds of conventional and internationally-banned chemical and mass destruction weapons.
The source of pain and sorrow of the Kingdom emanates from the fact that all peace-lovers were gearing to the day they see a breakthrough in Syria but, to their disappointment, bloodshed is still pouring and people, including women, children and the elderly, are still leaving their homes to elsewhere, Al-Maalami said.
He said the resolution's sponsoring group was forced by the tragic situation in Syria to put this draft resolution for the third time in a row at the UN debating table, hoping to have its consent today. Every time the number of killings, genocide, siege, torture, imprisonment, oppression, abduction, terrifying and raping is increasing and at the same time the hand grip of the regime in Damascus is getting more tougher and rejecting to listen to the voice of reason and wisdom, the Ambassador went on to say. Instead Damascus sought the help of sectarian militias from the east and the west to crush its country mates, he added.
