  1. “The competent authorities remain ready fully prepared to receive any names or incidents from the Special Representative for investigation in the context of continued cooperation with her Office.”

  2. “However, they ignore the fact of the policies of their own Governments against my country, which is the reason for such suffering, due to the involvement of those Governments in financing terrorism, facilitating its spread, securing its financing and building camps to train terrorists before they are sent to Syria where they are re-branded as the moderate opposition. Syria is committed to supporting international efforts to combat all forms of sexual violence and to punish the perpetrators and instigators, on the one hand, and to break the unjustifiable silence on the part of numerous specialized United Nations bodies, on the other. We would also like to affirm our wish to continue to cooperate with the United Nations, especially with Ms. Bangura, to reveal the truth about Syria free of politicization.”

  3. “We must also recall the exploitation of the Syrian female minority in Lebanon as one State has begun to arrange marriages without registering them in their official records. Reports have shown that they are married to wealthy men from the Gulf who have become accustomed to buying Syrian female refugee minors as wives in the slave markets in the refugee camps, with the help and supervision of non-governmental organizations working under the cover of doing humanitarian work. Finally, representatives of a number of States have expressed concern over the spread of sexual violence against Syrian women.”

  4. “Thirdly, the suffering of the Syrian women displaced in the refugee camps in neighbouring States is essential and should be stressed. In that regard, we must express our serious concern over the continued suffering of Syrian girls and women in those camps and the fact that they are subjected to trafficking, rape, forced marriage and insecurity. All of that has been documented in reports of the United Nations and international organizations concerned with the rights of the child, including the recent report by UNICEF, which indicated that the doubling in the number of rapes of Syrian female minors in camps in Jordan and Turkey was comparable to the incidence of rape at the beginning of the Syrian crisis, which was 32 per cent in the first quarter of 2014.”

  5. “Secondly, we reiterate the need for the Special Representative in her future reports to address the fatwa regarding sexual jihad, which is part and parcel of her mandate, and to put an end to these morally deviant and barbarous fatwas, especially since representatives of several States have affirmed that girls from their countries have fallen victims to such heinous fatwas, Recent among such statements was the statement of the British authorities that they had lost contact with three British girls who crossed into Syria, having fallen victims to such a fatwa and having been recruited through social media. The Syrian side will present to Ms. Bangura some of the victims of the sexual jihad and the practices of the armed terrorist groups against women and girls.”

  6. “I assure the Council without hesitation that the relevant authorities in Syria would be happy to receive any specific accurate information regarding such Violations, which our Government and army reject, and that it would address such allegations with the utmost firmness, in accordance with the law and the customs and traditions of our people.”

  7. “My country would like to reaffirm its position that the work of the commission since its establishment has been neither professional nor objective, but rather has been highly politicized and was essentially based on allegations and lies aimed at distorting the image of the Syrian Arab Republic. In that regard, I would like to stress that the Syrian Government rejects any allegations made against the Syrian armed forces and denounces the fact that such allegations continue, especially in view of the fact that the Syrian authorities have not received any requests from any offices of the United Nations in Damascus or from the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to Visit any site to verify any information they received - be it from their private sources or the Syrian Government.”

  8. “They have also issued a manual for dealing with women as spoils of war and how to capture and sexually assault them by way of one of the most heinous forms of sexual violence against women and Violations of their dignity. In the context of the present report, my delegation would like to make the following comments on the section regarding the situation in Syria. First, those who prepared the report based themselves and their allegations against the Syrian Government on the reports issued by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic.”

  9. “The Syrian Government looks forward to her visit, which will enable the Special Representative to accurately report on sexual violence in Syria and to document the responsibility of the armed terrorist groups, regardless of their names, for acts of murder, abduction and rape along sectarian lines, gang rapes, enslavement, torture and sexual violence against women and girls in Syria. Those crimes are part of the Salafi and Takfiri ideology, which the armed terrorist groups seek to propagate in the area and the world. Those terrorist groups have persisted in their criminality, to the point that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has opened camps for the recruitment of women and girls in the northern countryside of Aleppo in order to train them on suicide operations, on the one hand, and to recruit them for sexual violence, on the other.”

  10. “Mr. Haydar (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): We have carefully read the report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/203) prepared by the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict. While we appreciate Ms. Bangura's efforts, her understanding of the events in Syria regrettably remains fundamentally partial and one-sided, like her two previous reports (S/2013/149 and S/2014/181). In order to assess the events in Syria objectively and without politicization, the Special Representative should respond to the repeated invitations that the Syrian Government has extended to her to visit Syria and the region, which we recently agreed to.”

  11. “That must be based on respect for Syrian sovereignty and full cooperation with my Government in combating terrorism and delivering humanitarian relief assistance.”

  12. “The Government of Syria would like to point out that the number of civilian victims of attacks by armed terrorist groups using various types of explosive ammunition in every governorate of Syria during the period from 21 November to 21 December 2014 totalled 238 dead and 377 injured, including 45 and 82 children, respectively. Those responsible for those acts of terrorism and other heinous crimes are armed terrorist groups, Wahabists trying to cloak themselves under the guise of terms such as "moderate armed opposition", in a desperate attempt to justify their terrorist acts. My Government continues to take a responsible, effective role in supporting the United Nations in dealing with the humanitarian situation in Syria.”

  13. “The fact that those who prepared today's report insist on using the terms "armed opposition", "non-State armed groups" or just "armed groups" in describing armed terrorist groups is reprehensible and runs counter to the statement in paragraph 10 of the report that Ahrar Al-Sham and J aish Al-Islam have reached an agreement with the Al-Nusra Front, which is an organization on the Security Council's list. The Council itselfhas described such groups as terrorist organizations in the past. They use the area of separation as a haven, with clear cover by Israel. We all know now that whenever such terrorist groups fail to put their terrorist crimes into action or are pushed back by the Syrian army, Israel moves in and takes on that role with repeated acts of aggression against our country.”

  14. “The facts on the ground show that the United Nations does not have an effective mechanism for ensuring that aid reaches those who genuinely need it in areas controlled by terrorist groups. Turkey must stop using unofficial border crossings for delivering weapons and other lethal equipment and terrorists to Syria. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia must stop using border crossings used by OCHA to send weapons and assistance to the Al-Nusra Front and other terrorist groups. The United Nations has a moral and political responsibility to ensure this. Its officials must stop making statements and producing reports with random, inaccurate and undocumented information on the humanitarian situation in Syria. That is politicization.”

  15. “In that regard, I refer to the report of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs entitled World Economic Situation and Prospects 2015, which mentions the negative effects of such measures on the livelihoods of Syrian citizens. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) should provide detailed lists of the items and various types of aid that are being sent across borders to various regions in Syria. It should also identify the parties who are receiving that aid, because we have information that aid such as this is reaching terrorist organizations. The Secretary-General's reports must be credible and transparent concerning mechanisms for monitoring cross-border assistance.”

  16. “The United Nations must improve its cooperation and coordination with the Syrian Government instead of repeatedly casting doubt on its efforts to reach those affected within Syrian territory, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 46/182. It is also important to address the lack of financing, one of the fundamental obstacles to implementing the 2014 humanitarian response plan. In that context, I should emphasize that the Syrian Government has been working intensely to meet the needs of its citizens. The coercive, unilateral, illegitimate measures imposed by some countries on Syria, which have had a direct negative effect on Syrian livelihoods, must stop. They have affected many basic, vital sectors, such as health care, education and water and sanitation.”

  17. “Secondly, we stress the importance of - indeed, the need for - ensuring that the Secretariat's policies are in line with the Charter of the United Nations, international law and the norms governing humanitarian activities, as well as with the provisions of resolutions 2170 (2014) and 2178 (2014), which prioritize the fight against terrorism and terrorist groups, such as ISIL, the Al-Nusra Front and other related organizations. What is needed now is cooperation and coordination with the Syrian Government in combating terrorism, with a particular view to ending the humanitarian crisis in Syria. Various parties, particularly Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, must end their support, financing and incitement of terrorism and drain the terrorist pond.”

  18. “The Government would like to emphasize the incontrovertible truth that the humanitarian situation in Syria cannot be improved without giving priority to the following issues. First, serious work must be done, in coordination with the Syrian Government, to deal with the fundamental reason for the humanitarian crisis in some regions of Syria, that is, the crimes committed by armed terrorist groups being supported in the region and internationally, including groups related to Al-Qaida and those that are either overtly or covertly connected to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Al-Nusra Front and other terrorist groups.”

  19. “The facts on the ground show that cross-border delivery has been ineffective when it comes to achieving the humanitarian goals that resolutions 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014) claim to want to achieve, particularly considering the fact that Syria has repeatedly emphasized its readiness to deliver assistance from inside Syria. We are all now aware that any measures designed to improve the humanitarian situation without consultation and close cooperation with the Government of Syria will not succeed. Those attempting to politicize the humanitarian situation must cease immediately. Such efforts are desperate attempts to violate our Government's sovereignty. We have read the eleventh report of the Secretary-General and our comments on it have been officially submitted to the Security Council.”

  20. “They have used the same stereotypical language in the report (S/2015/48) and ignored the fact that the humanitarian situation and its deterioration are the result of terrorist attacks by armed terrorist groups. The Syrian Government would like to stress once again that, without its efforts and cooperation with United Nations agencies and specialized entities, as well as its direct coordination between the parties, and without the support and protection it has provided to United Nations convoys and staff, the Organization would not have been able to deliver any humanitarian assistance at all. To set the record straight, I should stress that since December 2014, as documented by United Nations entities, 6 million people have benefited from food aid, and approximately half a million from medical assistance, from inside Syria.”

  21. “Therefore, on 17 December 2014, following consultations and an agreement with the United Nations, the Syrian Government adopted the Syria emergency response plan for 2015, which complemented the national efforts that have been made since the start ofthe crisis to lessen the suffering of our people and confront the terrorist attacks and the negative impact the foreign intervention in Syria's internal affairs has had. The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic would like to express its regret at the fact that those preparing the texts of the relevant draft resolutions have taken unconstructive position vis-a-vis the humanitarian situation in Syria. They have insisted on politicizing this issue and have ignored all the facts and developments on the ground.”

  22. “Mr. Haydar (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): Based on the constitutional responsibilities of the Syrian Government vis-a-vis its citizens and its firm position in confronting the terrorist war afflicting Syria, since 2011 the Government has devoted every national capacity to ensuring that the necessary assistance, shelter, food and medication is provided to all citizens affected by the crimes perpetrated by armed terrorist groups. The Syrian Government would like to stress its desire to continue to cooperate with the United Nations to ensure that assistance reaches all citizens in every part of Syria without discrimination.”
