The American Coalition for Syria (ACS) calls on member states of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to vote tomorrow in favor of the proposed resolution to establish an independent institution to clarify the fate and whereabouts of missing people in Syria. The resolution presents a significant opportunity to address the plight of Syria’s victims of forced disappearance, and we urge all member states of the United Nations to vote in favor of this crucial resolution.
Since 2011, more than 100,000 individuals have gone missing or been forcibly disappeared by the Assad regime and other parties to the conflict. The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for an independent mechanism to investigate and document violations of international humanitarian law, human rights abuses, and war crimes committed in Syria.
The American Coalition for Syria and its member organizations have been actively engaged in the pursuit of justice and accountability for detainees and missing persons in Syria and extend their sincere gratitude to the Department of State and Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield for their unwavering support and commitment to this cause from the very beginning. Their dedication to advancing human rights and promoting justice has been instrumental in mobilizing international support for the vote tomorrow.
The American Coalition for Syria firmly believes that holding accountable those responsible for the heinous crimes committed in Syria is essential for the victims and the country's long-term stability, reconciliation, and healing.
