  1. “In conclusion, I emphasize that the humanitarian crisis in Syria will be resolved only through a comprehensive political settlement based on the full implementation of resolution 2254 (2015) in a manner that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people towards deciding on their future freely. A political solution is the only means to end the conflict and create a safe and neutral environment that ensures the safe, dignified and voluntary return of millions of IDPs and refugees. In that context, the League of Arab States reiterates its support to the efforts of Mr. Geir Pedersen, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, and we pledge to continue cooperating with him.”

  2. “Given the grave challenges that the world order is facing as a result of the war in Ukraine, we stress once again that addressing urgent humanitarian needs by the international community should not be waning and that addressing the humanitarian situation by the Council should not cease due to political considerations. Therefore, the League of Arab States hopes that the humanitarian aid mechanism will continue to function across borders to Syria and that it will be renewed in July free from any politicization of the issue. We believe that renewing resolution 2585 (2021) is vital for the fate of millions of Syrians in need.”

  3. “All attempts to impose demographic changes and create a new reality on the ground in Syria are categorically rejected, as is the continued violation by Israel of Syria’s air space. Fourthly, the Council of the League of Arab States welcomed resolution 2585 (2021), on renewing the humanitarian assistance mechanism. We call on donor countries to disburse their pledges expeditiously, as announced in previous pledging conferences. We express our genuine concern about the consequences of the war in Ukraine on the Syrian crisis, both on the ground and in terms of the way in which the Council deals with the situation in Syria.”

  4. “There is a need for stability and for addressing insecurity, as well as assassinations and drug smuggling, especially in the south of Syria, to allow refugees to return voluntarily to their homes and to cease the deteriorating situation in the south. Secondly, there is a legitimate concern about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Al-Hol and Rukban camps. International and Syrian stakeholders are called upon to assume their responsibilities and allow for the safe passage of humanitarian assistance into Syria, while stressing the need for the return of all Rukban residents to their homes and completely evacuating and dismantling the camp. Thirdly, there is genuine and justified concern about any new arrangements on the ground that may threaten Syria’s territorial integrity.”

  5. “Supporting, showing solidarity with and extending aid to them are core responsibilities of the entire international community. We hope that all stakeholders will play their role in that regard. The Council of the League of Arab States, meeting at the level of Foreign Ministers, adopted a decision on the Syrian crisis on 9 March. The most important elements of that decision, which forms the basis for the Arab position on the humanitarian crisis in Syria, are as follows. First, there is growing concern in the Arab region about the deteriorating humanitarian situation and the possible catastrophic impact of ongoing violence across Syria, despite the lack of change on the front lines in the north-west and north-east of the country over the past 20 months.”

  6. “Jordan has hosted more than 1 million Syrians since the start of the conflict, which adds to the burdens of a country that already lacks resources. The League of Arab States hopes that the sixth Brussels Conference on supporting the future of Syria and the region, scheduled for May, will alleviate the protracted humanitarian crisis and mobilize the necessary support for host countries of Syrian refugees. Support for refugees and IDPs is a responsibility shared between the international community and host countries, without discrimination on the basis of colour, race or religion, as we regrettably have seen recently. Refugees and IDPs of an armed conflict are humans, first and foremost, whose normal lives have collapsed through no fault of their own.”

  7. “More than 14 million Syrians now require humanitarian assistance, in addition to the tens of thousands who are missing or have been detained. The League of Arab States is aware of the grave consequences of this crisis on the stability of the Middle East and the Arab world in general. We have followed its repercussions and painful effects on Syria’s neighbours, in particular those hosting Syrian refugees, notably Lebanon and Jordan. They have been overwhelmed by the need to provide aid and basic services to Syrians who have been displaced, despite the significant burden on infrastructure and vital sectors, in particular education and health care. Lebanon hosts the largest number of refugees per capita.”

  8. “The Syrian conflict has created a humanitarian catastrophe that has affected all Syrians, regardless of their location. The crisis has had intergenerational impacts. It has led to an increasing number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees, along with a deteriorated economic and humanitarian situation, rising poverty, worsening public health care caused by the coronavirus disease pandemic, the destruction of health-care institutions and the impact of sanctions, which prevent them from discharging their basic humanitarian tasks. It is regrettable that 90 per cent of Syrians now live below the poverty line and that some 12.5 million suffer from food insecurity. The conflict has displaced more than 12 million Syrians — approximately 50 per cent of the population. It is unfortunately a unique situation in our modern history.”

  9. “The eleventh anniversary of the Syrian crisis coincides with serious global upheavals, which add to the challenges facing the international community and its plans for responding to the humanitarian crises. The Syrian crisis is not expected to be immune to this grim situation, which poses a threat to international peace and security. We continue to hope that diplomacy will prevail over weapons and war. However, our concerns are growing every day, given the increasing number of people displaced by the war in Ukraine, which adds to the significant responsibilities of the international community. These include the need to address humanitarian challenges and crises that continue to grow in tandem with the armed conflicts escalating across the world.”
