Strongly condemning the grave human rights situation in the Syrian Arab
Republic, the indiscriminate killing and deliberate targeting of civilians, including
humanitarian workers, as such, including those involving the continued indiscriminate
use of heavy weapons and aerial bombardments, which has caused more than 500,000
fatalities, including the killing of more than 17,000 children, the continued widespread
and systematic gross violations, as well as abuses, of human rights and violations of
international humanitarian law, including by the starvation of civilians as a method of
warfare and the use of chemical weapons, including chlorine gas, sarin and sulfur
mustard, which are prohibited under international law, and acts of violence that foment
sectarian tensions by the Syrian regime against the Syrian population,
