Eleven Countries Voted against Human Rights Council Resolutions Condemning Violations against the Syrian People Since March 2011

The Vast Majority of the World’s Countries Voted for the Rights of the Syrian People, With Russia’s and China’s UNHRC Membership Strengthening the Coalition of Countries Hostile to Human Rights

 

The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) reveals in a report released today that eleven countries have voted against Human Rights Council resolutions condemning violations against the Syrian people since March 2011 to date, noting that the vast majority of the world’s countries voted for the rights of the Syrian people, with Russia’s and China’s UNHRC membership strengthening the coalition of countries hostile to human rights.

The 20-page report, which was prepared following the election of both Russia and China as members of the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, beginning from its next session, stresses that their election supports the Syrian regime and its continuous violations, as well as many other dictatorships worldwide. In this context, the report exposes those countries that voted in favor of the regime committing a vast number of violations in Syria over the past nine years, showing the number of times each voted, and demonstrating in a visible way how dictatorships have rallied together with fellow totalitarian states and allies to vote in favor of each other, regardless of the blatant nature of their egregious violations of human rights.

The report also shows the countries that voted in favor of Human Rights Council resolutions on Syria, for which the SNHR offers its sincere thanks and appreciation, whilst in turn condemning and exposing the countries that voted for the Syrian regime, which has committed crimes against humanity, being the party responsible for committing the largest number of violations since the beginning of the popular uprising in Syria in March 2011, as the report reveals.

As the report further reveals, following the first of the Syrian regime’s grave violations in 2011, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) urgently intervened, issuing its first resolution almost six weeks after the start of the uprising for democracy, in which it clearly condemned the Syrian regime’s brutal violations and called for the creation of a fact-finding mission. The HRC has subsequently held successive meetings on Syria, issuing 34 resolutions on the human rights situation in Syria.

Fadel Abdul Ghany, Chairman of the Syrian Network for Human Rights says:
“The number of countries that have voted in favor of the Human Rights Council’s resolutions on Syria since March 2011 to date has been far greater than the number of dictatorships that have voted in favor of the Syrian regime; the same can be said of all UN General Assembly resolutions, and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’ resolutions. Human rights have won in all international forums because most countries care for their reputation, and it’s very difficult to vote for a criminal regime. Despite this, however, human rights have failed terribly in the UN Security Council, which has concentrated the majority of the executive powers in its own hands, and this is why we have seen a tragic failure of implementing human rights conventions and standards worldwide, especially in Syria.”

The report documents the list of countries which voted in favor of the Human Rights Council resolutions, and those which voted against the HRC’s resolutions, clearly showing their denial of the violations committed by the Syrian regime, which effectively encouraged the regime to commit more violations by promising to secure support for it in the Human Rights Council despite these. The report reveals that these are authoritarian states which support one another, making themselves isolated rogue states, noting that on average these are four or five countries against 30 that voted in favor of the HRC’s resolutions out of the 47 countries eligible to vote, with the report pointing out that all the resolutions have received an overwhelming majority of support over the past years.

The report includes a brief analysis of countries’ voting record on Human Rights Council resolutions, showing that only eleven countries voted in favor of the Syrian regime continuously for the past nine years, with all these countries being oppressive dictatorships, namely: Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Burundi, Eritrea, Philippines, Algeria, Iraq, and Egypt, with the report noting that Russia and China are spearheading a coalition of oppressive countries that are loyal to them to vote in favor of the Syrian regime. The report reveals that eight other countries voted in favor of the Human Rights Council resolutions, but voted once in favor of the Syrian regime, adding that the vast majority of the world’s countries voted in favor of the Human Rights Council resolutions, supporting the rights of the Syrian people and condemning the brutal violations against them.

The report details specifically the resolutions establishing and extending the mandate of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI), outlining 11 HRC resolutions since the HRC called for the establishment of the fact-finding mission, which later became the International Commission of Inquiry, until October 2020.

The report further notes that ten countries, which we previously detailed, are the same ones that blatantly voted against the extension of the mandate of the Commission of Inquiry, meaning that these countries wish to see the Syrian regime and other parties to the conflict continue to commit violations, some of which amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes, while they do not wish to see a UN commission investigating these violations and identifying and condemning the perpetrators. The report stresses that the Syrian regime hasn’t allowed the Commission of Inquiry to enter the country since its establishment and up to the present date, indicating the regime’s central involvement in the violations, and its wish to conceal them with the help of the other oppressive tyrannical states that vote in its favor.

The report adds that the rest of the world’s countries have thankfully voted in favor of the establishment and extensions of the mandate of the Commission of Inquiry during their terms as members of the Human Rights Council.

The report stresses that Russia has left no stone unturned in its defense of the Syrian regime, using its veto sixteen times in the Security Council, and providing military support, with this support for the regime also extending to the Human Rights Council and its resolutions which only address the situation of human rights. The report adds that Russia is also involved in committing violations that constitute crimes against humanity and war crimes in Syria, which is why it votes against all resolutions issued by the Human Rights Council on Syria.

The report condemns the eleven countries which have voted in favor of the Syrian regime, with especial reference to Egypt as an Arab country, as well as Algeria during the era of former President Bouteflika. The report notes that Iraq, whose sovereign political, economic and human rights decisions are controlled by Iran’s regime, voted in favor of the Iranian regime’s ally, the Syrian regime, demonstrating the extent of the Iranian regime’s control over Iraq.

The report reveals that the analysis it provides proves that most of the world’s countries refuse to support crimes against humanity and war crimes in Syria, and if the decision to move to protect civilians was left to the Human Rights Council or the UN General Assembly, these violations would have ended since the summer of 2011; however, the executive powers is in the hands of the Security Council, which has failed abjectly and completely to protect the civilians in Syria for nine years to date.

The report provides recommendations to the countries of the world, which include noting that since the Human Rights Council is a human rights body and the decisions issued by it are closely related to basic human rights, all countries of the world must respect these decisions and comply with them. The countries of the world must also stand in solidarity with just causes, and always vote in favor of Human Rights Council resolutions condemning those nations that excessively violate basic human rights like the Syrian regime.

The report also recommends that the countries that support the Syrian regime must be exposed, and their votes in favor of the regime at the Human Rights Council must be condemned. In addition, the report recommends that the authoritarian dictatorships, such as; Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt, mustn’t be elected to the Human Rights Council’s membership.

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS INTEL BY MEIR AMIT CENTER / ISRAEL – Spotlight on Global Jihad (October 15-21, 2020)

Published:

Main events of the week
  • In the Idlib region, exchanges of artillery fire continued between the Syrian army and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), albeit at a somewhat lower intensity. An American UAV carried out an airstrike near the city of Idlib, killing two senior commanders of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Guardians of Religion Organization.
  • In Iraq, Syria and the Sinai Peninsula, ISIS has continued its routine activity. Noteworthy attacks this week in ISIS’s provinces in Central and West Africa:
    • In northwestern Nigeria (Borno State), ISIS’s attacks continued, with the Nigerian army sustaining many casualties (dozens killed and wounded). Among the ISIS’s provinces in Asia and Africa, Nigeria is the leading country in terms of the number of casualties.
    • In Tanzania, ISIS operatives attacked an army base in the southeast of the country for the first time. This is apparently a spillover of ISIS’s activity from northeastern Mozambique, where ISIS has established its presence.
    • In the Democratic Republic of Congo, ISIS claimed responsibility for breaking into the central prison in the northeast of the country, a region where the organization is active. More than 1,300 prisoners reportedly escaped.
  • ISIS Spokesman Abu Hamza al-Qurashi released an audiotape in which he calls, inter alia, for the overthrow of the “tyrannical” Arab rulers, against the backdrop of the normalization agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. The spokesman calls on ISIS operatives and supporters in Saudi Arabia to attack Western citizens and the country’s economic infrastructure (setting fire to oil pipelines, damaging factories). The spokesman praises ISIS operatives in Africa, calling on them to overthrow local regimes and harm Western interests (especially those of France).
  • On October 16, 2020, a young Chechen beheaded a history teacher in a suburb near Paris after he had shown his students cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, previously published by the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, during a discussion with his students about freedom of expression. French President Emanuel Macron, who arrived at the scene of the attack, called the murder an “Islamic terrorist attack.” This is unusual rhetoric that reflects the intensity of the shock of the French in the face of the murder, which was perceived as a violation of education and freedom of expression. At this stage, there is no evidence that ISIS or Al-Qaeda were involved in the attack, although ISIS has identified with it at the ideological level.
ISIS’s activity around the world
ISIS’s activity in the various provinces (October 8-14, 2020)
  • On October 15, 2020, ISIS’s Al-Naba’ weekly published an infographic entitled “The Harvest of the Fighters,” summarizing ISIS’s activity on October 8-14, 2020. According to the infographic, during this period ISIS carried out 30 attacks around the world, compared to 37 in the previous week (i.e., a decrease of about 19% in the number of the attacks). The largest number of attacks was carried out in Syria (13), compared to a decrease in the number of attacks in Iraq (8). Attacks were also carried out in ISIS’s other provinces: West Africa (6) and the Sinai Peninsula (3) (Al-Naba’ weekly, Telegram, October 15, 2020).
  • According to the infographic, a total of over 69 people were killed and wounded in these attacks, compared to 54 in the previous week (i.e., an increase of about 27% in the number of casualties). The largest number of casualties (32) was in West Africa. The other casualties were in Syria (18); Iraq (14); and the Sinai Peninsula (5) (Telegram, October 15, 2020).
ISIS’s financial resources
Overview
  • Laurie Mylroie, a renowned US terrorism researcher, wrote an article following up on a recent Wall Street Journal report about ISIS’s financial resources (September 18, 2020)[1]. According to Mylroie, despite its recent setbacks, including the loss of its territory, ISIS remains flush with cash. According to her, American and Western and other official security sources, such as the Kurdistan Regional Government, point out that despite its setbacks, ISIS continues to hold many financial reserves. According to these sources, ISIS has at its disposal large financial reserves and a range of revenue streams, which could finance dangerous terrorist attacks.
Types of ISIS financial sources
  • The US Department of the Treasury estimates that ISIS commands some $300 million. The United Nations estimate is less, although still a considerable sum: around $100 million. The following are examples of ISIS’s financial resources:
  • Investments in legitimate businesses: Documents captured by the Coalition after ISIS’s territorial defeat reveal that it had been investing hundreds of millions of dollars into legitimate businesses, including hotels and other real estate.
  • Profits of the Al-Rawi network: This is a network of people and businesses hailing from the Sunni Iraqi border town of Rawa, near the border with Syria. The network, also known as the Golden Chain (Selselat al-Thahab), moves money out of areas in Eastern Syria once controlled by ISIS to Dubai and through Turkey[2].
  • Exploiting the COVID-19 pandemic to make profits: According to another article by Mylroie, the pandemic has become a financial resource. An ISIS supporter in Turkey named Murat Cakar was accused of making money from online sales of masks and other personal protection equipment[3]. The supporter’s profits were mainly in virtual currency.

  • Ransom: ISIS also gains money by abducting individuals and charging tens of thousands of dollars in ransom. The amount of ransom can reach as high as $70,000.
  • Tobacco smuggling: The Army of Islam (Lashkar-e-Islam) is an important ISIS ally in Pakistan active in Khyber, Peshawar Province. The organization is heavily involved in tobacco smuggling. Profits from this occupation are estimated at several million dollars a year[4].
The Syrian arena
The Idlib region

In the Idlib region, exchanges of artillery fire continued between the Syrian army and the rebel organizations east and southwest of Idlib. In addition, Russian aircraft reportedly carried out airstrikes west of Idlib (near the Syrian-Turkish border). Two civilians were killed in these attacks and 15 were wounded (Edlib Media Center, October 14, 2020).

US targeted killing of Al-Qaeda-affiliated commanders
  • According to a spokesperson for the US CENTCOM, on October 15, 2020, an American UAV carried out an airstrike near Idlib. In this attack, two senior commanders of the Al-Qaeda branch in Syria were killed (Fox News, October 16, 2020). Syrian media outlets reported that the attack had targeted two operatives of the Guardians of Religion Organization who were riding in a vehicle near Idlib. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the two people killed were Abu Dharr al-Masri and Abu Yusuf al-Maghrebi, two commanders in the Guardians of Religion Organization (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, October 17, 2020).
  • Following are details about the two commanders who were killed in the attack:
  • Abu Dharr al-Masri: Member of the Shura Council of the Guardians of Religion Organization (Akhbar al-Aan 24 YouTube channel, October 16, 2020). Formerly in charge of Islamic law in the Guardians of Religion Organization. Before that, he was the organization’s supervisor of an institute of Islamic religious law (ma’had shar’i) for children.
  • Abu Yusuf al-Maghrebi: former commander in Al-Qaeda. Joined the Guardians of Religion Organization, where he was in charge of general security (Akhbar al-Aan 24 YouTube channel, October 16, 2020).

The region of Deir ez-Zor and Al-Mayadeen
  • On October 19, 2020, an SDF intelligence operative was targeted by machine gun fire about 14 km north of Al-Mayadeen. He was killed.

  • On October 14, 2020, an agreement was signed in Mosul for the voluntary return of 1,100 families of ISIS operatives to their homes in Mahalabiyah, about 35 km west of Mosul. These families left their place of residence and moved to regions formerly controlled by ISIS. The agreement was signed under the auspices of the governor of the Nineveh Province and with the support of the UN Development Program (UNDP) in Iraq. It should be noted that local residents have so far opposed the return of the families of ISIS operatives to the region (reliefweb.int, October 14, 2020).

Justizministerin Christine Lambrecht (SPD) will die „Mit-Mutterschaft“ einführen. Ja, Sie haben richtig gelesen. Es reicht ihr nicht, durch geplante „Kinderrechte“ im Grundgesetz das natürliche Elternrecht auszuhebeln. Sie will die naturgegebene Elternschaft an sich abschaffen.

Konkret will die Ministerin den Mutterschafts-Paragraphen (§ 1591 BGB) um folgenden Absatz erweitern: „Mutter eines Kindes ist neben der Mutter nach Absatz eins auch die Frau, die zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt mit der Mutter nach Absatz eins verheiratet ist oder die die Mutterschaft anerkannt hat.“

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS MID-EAST OUTLOOK: KEEPING DOWN A DIMINISHED ISLAMIC STATE: THE PROSPECT OF AN OCTOBER SURPRISE ATTACK

by Ido Levy PolicyWatch 3393 October 20, 2020

The relatively low risk underscores the importance of Washington’s continued pressure to curtail the jihadist group’s strike capability outside its areas of operation.

Since at least 2004, U.S. presidential candidates have feared how a terrorist attack could affect their campaigns, particularly in the later stages. With Election Day in the United States less than two weeks away, anything could still happen, but it appears that the Islamic State (IS) is far less capable of carrying out an “October surprise” than it was in the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Then, IS held Manbij and Raqqa in Syria, and also had free use of the Syrian-Turkish border, from which it (1) launched terrorist attacks such as the January 2016 Istanbul bombing and (2) directed attacks in Europe like the March 2016 Brussels bombings.
