UN Aid Chief Urges for More Syria Intervention

UN Aid Chief Urges for More Syria Intervention

UN aid chief Valerie Amos on Tuesday suggested more intervention in humanitarian emergencies as she said some states were aggressively asserting sovereignty rights to stop action being taken to protect civilians. Amos cited Syria as an example after the United Nations Security Council had to adopt two resolutions to authorize the delivery of cross-border humanitarian aid in a bid to reach millions of people in need as a result of the country’s civil war. “I don’t think that the Syrian government has ever forgiven me. They see me as personally responsible for pushing the Security Council to agree to those resolutions,” Amos told the Council of Foreign Relations in New York. Amos, who will step down in March after more than four years, also said the conflict in Syria has been her low point. More than 12 million people in Syria need help, while another 3.2 million have fled the conflict. “Perhaps we could have pressured the Security Council earlier to get the resolutions that we did,” she said. Amos said there was not enough accountability at the United Nations and that while the Security Council has recognized flagrant violations of international humanitarian law around the world, “there is no action after that.” “As millions of people are forced to flee, as there is abuse on an unprecedented scale of girls and women in many countries … and action is not being taken in relation to this, I ask the question: should we not be more interventionist?” she said. But Amos said she did not necessarily mean “boots on the ground” intervention. “I’m asking the question about an architecture that we already have, a body of rules and law that we already have that we are not holding ourselves accountable to. I see this as a significant failure,” she said.
The Syrian Coalition has repeatedly stated that “the Assad regime is still violating international resolutions, especially the UN Security Council Resolution No. 2165 by blocking entry of humanitarian aid to besieged civilians, causing a humanitarian catastrophe that threatens millions of civilians who are suffering from hunger, lack of heating equipment and medicine. It is worth noting that the UN Security Council has renewed the mandate for the international relief agencies for another year to enter relief aid through Syria’s border crossings without the need to get the consent of the Assad regime.
