Hariri Urges Accountability for War Crimes as He Visits the UK

Hariri Urges Accountability for War Crimes as He Visits the UK

Head of the Syrian Negotiations Commission, Nasr Al-Hariri, called on the United Kingdom to impose new sanctions on Russia and Iran because of their harmful role in Syria. He also called on the UK to support efforts to hold war criminals in Syria accountable instead of investigating war crimes.

Hariri and the accompanying delegation met with Great Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson in London on Wednesday as they discussed “the future of Syria and the role of the United Kingdom in helping secure a stable and peaceful future for the Syrian people.”

The Commission’s delegation also met with Christian Turner, Deputy Prime Minister’s National Security Adviser and Bertie Patel, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the UK Parliament.

Hariri gave an open briefing to members of the British Parliament, the media and non-governmental organizations in which he stressed the need to undertake actions that can have a strategic impact.

Hariri called on the United Kingdom in particular to take the lead in increasing support for moderate voices on the ground, such as civil society organizations, local councils, and the Syrian Interim Government. He also called for moving from the stage of investigating the Assad regime’s violations to the stage of prosecutions and legal accountability.

Moreover, Hariri called on London to step up its humanitarian assistance for the Syrian people and support the United States in in the imposition of tougher sanctions against Russia and Iran for their harmful role in Syria.

For his part, Johnson said that “this visit was a significant opportunity for the U.K. to discuss with the Syrian opposition our shared efforts to bring this appalling human catastrophe to an end, and stop the suffering that the Syrian people have endured for over seven years.”

Johnson added that the Bashar al-Assad regime’s “continuation of its brutal offensives, including its use of chemical weapons, and its refusal to engage in negotiations have underlined the challenge of reaching a political settlement.”

“But we remain clear that only a political solution will create a stable, brighter future for the Syrian people,” he said. (Source: Syrian Coalition’s Media Department)

Preserving independence and national sovereignty and maintaining the Syrian people’s unity within the same Syrian soil
is one of the critical pillars of the Syrian Coalition. The Coalition aims to overthrow the Assad regime along with all its
symbols and pillars. It also aims to dismantle its security apparatus and hold accountable those involved in crimes
against Syrians. In addition, it seeks to achieve a transition to a pluralistic, democratic and civil Syria.
