China News Service, Geneva, September 22. Jiang Duan, Minister of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations in Geneva, severely condemned the illegal military intervention of the United States in Syria at the 51st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council on the 22nd. Stop human rights violations.
Jiang Duan said that the Syrian issue has been delayed for more than ten years, and the Syrian people are still struggling with poverty and war. The United States and other Western countries have an inescapable responsibility for this.
The United States has frequently launched military interventions in Syria, resulting in a large number of civilian casualties and displacement in Syria, resulting in immeasurable property losses.
Just last month, the US military launched a new round of airstrikes in eastern Syria, continuing to violate Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity and exacerbating the suffering of the Syrian people.
The United States has also imposed unilateral coercive measures on Syria, making it difficult for the Syrian people to obtain basic living security, and the economic development and reconstruction process are facing many difficulties.
Jiang Duan emphasized that today, the US military is still controlling Syria's oil, natural gas and other national resources, occupying the main oil-producing areas in Syria, looting more than 80% of the oil production, smuggling and burning Syrian grain stocks, and seriously violating the Syrian people's food rights and health. rights, development rights and other basic human rights.
Jiang Duan pointed out that the Syrian crisis shows that external interference, provocation of confrontation, pressure and sanctions are not helpful to solve the problem.
China has always advocated adhering to the principle of "Syrian-led and Syrian-owned", promoting a political settlement and allowing the Syrian people to independently determine the country's future without external interference.
We urge the United States and others to stop illegal stationing and illegal military operations in Syria, stop unilateral sanctions against Syria, stop stealing oil and food in Syria, and return the real human rights, wealth, freedom and dignity of the Syrian people.
