Hundreds of Organizations from 13 Arab Countries Sign Statement Against Any Attack on Syria

Statement

Civil society organizations from 13 Arab countries call upon the U.S. Congress and the French Parliament not to approve the aggression against Syria that violates international law, and invite all to listen to the call of His Holiness Pope Francis II and statement of Sheikh of Al-Azhar

The undersigned human rights organizations expresses deep concern about the threat of military aggression on Syria by the senior executive departments in the United States and France, which are permanent members of the Security Council and which violate the Charter of the United Nations in advocacy and preparation of an act of aggression contrary to international law even if the national legislative authorities authorized it.

The undersigned organizations condemnation the use of chemical weapons in Syria, whoever used it, in Khan Al Assal (March 2013), in the East Gouta (August 2013) or any other place, and calls for the team of investigators of the United Nations to investigate further to reveal who used the chemical weapons and not let escape impunity.

It is striking that the U.S. government announced the results of the investigation in the use of chemical weapons before the start of the International Commission of Inquiry work, the undersigned organizations are more concerned of the continuous use of slander and fabrication to cover military aggression against independent states, similar to what happened before the invasion of North Vietnam in 1964, and the scandal of the Bay of Pigs in 1961 to launch aggression against Cuba, or the scandal of weapons of mass destruction as a pretext for military invasion of Iraq in 2003.We recall in this regard the decision of the International Court of Justice in 1986, which considered the support of the United States Administration to the armed anti-government opposition in Nicaragua a breach of international law.

The undersigned organizations demand United Nations and the international community to disarm all weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, to make it a weapons-free zone, whether nuclear, biological, or chemical.

These organizations demand all parties concerned to expedite the convening of the Geneva Conference 2 according to the agreements of Geneva 1, and encourage facilitating the Syrian-Syrian solution through dialogue and away from killing civilians, armed violence and terrorism, to avoid any attempt to draft the division of Syria, leaving the Syrian people, without any foreign intervention, choose their democratic governments and civil state through free and fair elections.

In the end, it is imperative that the undersigned organizations appreciates the position of the British House of Commons, which did not permit Britain's involvement in aggression against Syria , similar to their participation in the tripartite aggression against Egypt in 1956, which is a position consistent with international law. They also appreciate the position of the 77 members of the Jordanian House of Representatives who called upon the Jordanian government not to use Jordanian territory as a springboard for acts of aggression on Syria, and all Arab and Western similar moves opposing military intervention in this country.

Finally, we call upon the senior executive departments of the ten states willing to launch an aggression on Syria to listen well to the call of reason and wisdom of His Holiness Pope Francis for prayer and fasting to prevent war on Syria and work towards a peaceful solution , as well as listening to the position of Sheikh Al-Azhar Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, who considered military action against Syria pursuant hostile action on the Arab nation that disregards the international community and endangers international peace and security.
