ARAB 220 NGOs CALL FOR CONVICTION This project runs when a letter was sent Thursday, May 26 members of the Security Council by the UN over 220 organizations from 18 Arab countries, asking them to "condemn the excessive use of force "against demonstrators in Syria and to allow" immediate access for humanitarian assistance.
" In this letter, these associations point out that "more than 1000 civilians were killed and 10,000 arrested in 16 cities in Syria" since the beginning of the protest movement in mid-March. They also stress that "the cut communications imposed since April 22 prevents any objective assessment of humanitarian needs." NGOs also condemn the silence of the UN, which "sends the wrong message and fail to deter further violence and human rights violations by the Syrian authorities." The signatories, mostly based in Egypt, Libya, Qatar, Morocco, Yemen, Syria, Algeria and Saudi Arabia, calling for a resolution which "condemns the excessive use of lethal force against peaceful demonstrators Syria and demand a complete cessation of violence and attacks and abuses against civilians.
" Without unanimity, the Security Council has so far failed to adopt a resolution condemning Syria. China and especially Russia, a key ally of Damascus, opposed to any condemnation, warning against "foreign interference" that would cause "civil war". On Tuesday, the French foreign minister, Alain Juppe, had estimated that a majority of votes was "taking shape" at the UN to condemn the suppression of the revolt in Syria.
But he acknowledged that a veto threat from Moscow and Beijing on a text still existed. According to NGOs and the UN, the suppression of protest was at least 850 deaths and more than 8,000 arrests in Syria.
