  1. “We cannot allow our humanity to be lulled or desensitized by the horrors of the Syrian conflict. Neither can we allow our humanity to be corrupted by accepting that such horrors are corollaries of or to be expected in the course of conflict. In the light of the ongoing and worsening humanitarian situation in Syria, we have an imperative, in accordance with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, to ensure that international law, international humanitarian law and the relevant resolutions are respected by the parties to the conflict.”

  2. “We therefore remain hopeful that the parties to the conflict will positively consider the freeze proposal made by Mr. Staffan de Mistura, the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Syria. Nevertheless, there is mounting frustration in the international community about the fact that, despite its efforts, the parties to the conflict have remained obstinate about finding a sustainable solution to the conflict. Malaysia reiterates its View that there can be no military solution to the Syrian conflict. We believe firmly that the future of Syria should be determined by the Syrian people themselves through a Syrian-led political process. In that regard, we are supportive of efforts to support, promote, encourage and facilitate an inclusive political transitional process aimed at fostering national reconciliation in Syria.”

  3. “We cannot in good conscience continue to allow the people in these besieged cities to suffer, whether in Yarmouk, Aleppo, Horns or elsewhere in Syria. We recognize that the Government of Syria has the primary responsibility for the protection of its people. We hold the view, however, that in the light of the Government's continued inability, unwillingness and failure to fulfil its obligations, the Council has an imperative to ensure that civilians are protected and that efforts undertaken to enable the organization of humanitarian pauses for the delivery of aid, the establishment of humanitarian corridors and the safe passage of civilians out of besieged areas. We fully acknowledge that the humanitarian situation in Syria is intrinsically linked to a political settlement of the conflict.”

  4. “The Council can ill afford to sit back and simply hope that the parties to the conflict will respect international law, international humanitarian law and the relevant resolutions. The escalation ofthe situation in besieged Yarmouk, near Damascus, has further sensitized the international community to the humanitarian situation of those in besieged cities. In what was once a refuge and safe haven for more than 160,000 Palestinian refugees, the worsening conflict has now trapped the approximately 18,000 Palestinians remaining in Yarmouk. It is deeply disheartening for those who had sought refuge in Syria to now be embroiled in and directly affected by the conflict. But this is not unique to Yarmouk, as many other cities throughout Syria are facing similar situations.”

  5. “Such humanitarian aid and supplies must be allowed to reach their intended destinations and recipients. We commend the work of the United Nations humanitarian agencies and other humanitarian partners to ensure the delivery of aid to the Syrian people in the face of an extremely challenging security environment. The dedication and commitment of their personnel is highly admirable. In the light of the obstacles put in the way of the delivery of humanitarian aid and relief, intentionally or otherwise, we are of the view that the international community's concerns should be reflected in continued monitoring by the Council in order to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.”

  6. “Despite the adoption ofresolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014), we are deeply concerned that the delivery of humanitarian aid, especially when it requires access across borders and combat lines, continues to encounter security and administrative obstacles. While we acknowledge the Syrian Government's cooperation in facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid, we believe that the continued administrative obstacles it places in the way of lifesaving humanitarian aid are becoming increasingly unsustainable. The prohibition against bringing in medical and surgical supplies intended for the treatment of the already suffering Syrian population is unacceptable. The international community cannot tolerate such obstacles any longer.”

  7. “It is appalling that the parties to the conflict have increasingly employed this practice as a strategy of war, one that we condemn unequivocally. The barbarity of such strategies is unprecedented and unparalleled in modern history. Entire populations not only face death and injury, they are also subjected to inhumane and horrific conditions in the course of their daily survival. When we think about those physically trapped and besieged in cities and deprived of and denied basic essentials such as food, water, health care and medicines, it is beyond our imagination to comprehend the daily struggle and hardship they have to go through in order to survive.”

  8. “We are perplexed that the parties to the conflict, each claiming to be representing or fighting for the Syrian people, are seemingly oblivious to the suffering and destruction that they are inflicting on the Syrian people. The ever-increasing numbers of civilian deaths and injuries, displaced persons and refugees are evidence of the destructive toll inflicted by this conflict. While the humanitarian statistics may speak for themselves, the Council must continue to speak for the victims of the conflict, namely the millions of Syrians who continue to suffer. The strategy by the parties to the conflict of besieging and starving entire cities, designed to ensure the submission and surrender of whole populations, has added another horrifying dimension to the Syrian conflict.”

  9. “We are also very privileged to have heard a briefing by Ms. Angelina Jolie Pitt, the Special Envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, who has devoted much effort to raising the international community's awareness of the plight of the Syrian refugees. We share Ms. Jolie Pitt's concerns that too many innocent people are paying the price of the conflict in Syria and that the international community must step up and do more. Despite the international community's efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people, the on-the-ground humanitarian situation has, we deeply regret to say, deteriorated significantly. Indiscriminate attacks and the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure by both Government and armed opposition forces have continued without respite.”

  10. “I wish to express my appreciation to the Secretary-General for his monthly report to the Council (S/2015/264) and to the Under- Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Baroness Valerie Amos, for her briefing to the Council on the humanitarian situation and the implementation of resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014) regarding humanitarian assistance and access into Syria. I also wish to thank the Executive Director of the World Food Programme, Ms. Ertharin Cousin, for her briefing on the work of the WFP and its partners regarding its monthly food assistance programme in Syria. I further thank the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Antonio Guterres, for his updates to the Council on the situation of the Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries.”
