Syria: Security Council Adopted Resolution Re-authorising Cross-border Humanitarian Aid (Full)

Published

on



The Security Council adopted a resolution re-authorising cross-border humanitarian aid deliveries through the Bab al-Hawa crossing on the Syrian-Turkish border for an additional six months, until 10 January 2023.

The resolution had 12 votes in favor, no votes against, and three abstentions: the United States, United Kingdom, and France.

The draft was produced by the humanitarian penholders on Syria, Ireland and Norway.

The vote followed intense, difficult negotiations, said Geraldine Byrne Nason, the Permanent Representative to the United Nations from Ireland.

“It’s no secret that this has been a difficult negotiation. As pen holders, Ireland and Norway have engaged diligently and constructively with all Council members. After the draft resolution we put on the table last week was vetoed, we redoubled our efforts to find a path through so that the Council could adopt a resolution which would allow humanitarians to continue to reach those in dire need and Syria,” Nason explained.

The authorisation, which was most recently renewed through resolution 2585 of 9 July 2021, expired on Sunday (10 July). The draft resolution states that an additional six-month extension will require a separate Security Council resolution.

According to the Irish diplomat, “for the Syrian people and for all those humanitarians who work diligently to assist them, this has been a long and uncertain couple of days.”

“The fear that vital supplies of aid will be cut generated significant uncertainty and fear,” Nason added.

The Permanent Representative recognized that a six-month renewal was shorter than what Ireland and Norway, as pen holders, had aimed for, and that the vast majority of the Council shared that view.

Despite that, Nason said, “what is most important today is that the Council with this resolution keeps the cross-border mechanism open and operating” and “humanitarian assistance continues to reach those in need.”

Addressing the Council, the Permanent Representative of Norway, Mona Juul, said the resolution allows for “the life saving humanitarian operation to continue for those in humanitarian need in northwest Syria, who have been in an uncertain situation with the negotiations running into overtime.”

“We can assure them and that’s what matters. The cross-border operation is their lifeline. And today, the cross-border operation remains,” Juul concluded.

On Friday (8 July), the Council failed to adopt two draft resolutions which would have renewed the mechanism: one proposed by the penholders that was vetoed by Russia, and another initiated by Russia that received only two affirmative votes (China and Russia).

EU corruption scandal: European Parliament president reacts | DW News

Published

Authorities searched offices of the European Parliament on Monday as part of an investigation into alleged corruption, Belgian prosecutors said.

A European Parliament vice president, Eva Kaili, and other lawmakers have been implicated in the scandal.

Kaili was arrested Friday after police allegedly found “bags of cash” in her home.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on Monday described the scandal as an “attack” on EU democracy.

“The enemies of democracy, for whom the very existence of this parliament is a threat, will stop at nothing,” Metsola told EU lawmakers in Strasbourg, France.

She blamed “malign actors linked to autocratic third countries,” saying they had “allegedly weaponised NGOs, unions, individuals, assistants and members of the European Parliament in an effort to subvert our processes.”

In two days of intense fighting in Bakhmut, the enemy lost about a hundred convicts pushed there in Wagner Group uniforms. Earlier this summer, we crushed their combat units. But Wagner is still training new recruits and is well funded. Their personnel is being honed for a specific task. Each unit performs its mission in a small area. They don’t even collect their dead.
