The State of Qatar has called on the international community to shoulder its responsibility in protecting civilians and civil institutions from the massacres and barbaric bombing committed by the Syrian regime and its militia against the Syrian people.
In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), the Foreign Minister H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani urged the international community to move fast to stop massacres and grave violations, to insure safe paths, and to guarantee the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Aleppo and other Syrian cities on the background of the deteriorating human conditions and the brutal violations which occurred during the past few days.
The tremendous humanitarian disaster experienced by Syrians in Aleppo reflect the Security Council's failure in putting an end to the crisis and protecting civilians, the Minister said.
With the Security Council failure for the sixth time — and despite several resolutions which have not been enforced — searching for other ways to protect civilians has become an urgent matter, he added.
The Minister said that the efforts of Qatar come within the context of urging the international community and the UN officials to adopt effective measures for ending these human tragedies and provide all possible assistance to protect civilians from killing and destruction machine. He reiterated Qatar's support for the Syrian people.
The Foreign pointed that the Syrian regime has violated all norms, values and international humanitarian laws, stressing the need for international justice to take a real, serious and responsible step to hold the Syrian regime accountable.
