Human Rights Council, Forty-third session 24 February–20 March 2020 / Agenda item 4, Human rights situations that require the Council’s attention
Summary
Since the start of the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic, hostilities show little sign of abating in several parts of the country with a large number of State and non-State actors participating across different theatres of conflict. Multiple, rapidly shifting alliances among these parties continue to create volatility and power vacuums that facilitate violations of international law. The absence of an effective peace process, coupled with the failure of conflicting parties to provide unfettered access to humanitarian actors and independent monitors, renders distant the prospect of improving the immediate protection environment for civilians.
The displaced residents of Afrin condemned the massacre committed by the Turkish occupation army in the village of Aqiba, which resulted in the killing 3 members of one family, as well as to the injury 3 others civilians.
The displaced from Idlib described the situation in the northern Syrian governorate as tragic, and they confirmed that they lost confidence in Turkey and the mercenary gangs, thanking the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria that received them in its regions.
