2011, 26 2 October 2013 27 and 17 August 2015, 28
Strongly condemning the grave human rights situation in the Syrian Arab
Republic, the indiscriminate killing and deliberate targeting of civilians as such,
including those involving the continued indiscriminate use of heavy weapons and
aerial bombardments, which has caused more than 400,000 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 authorities against the Syrian population,
Reiterating that the only sustainable solution to the current crisis in the Syrian
Arab Republic is through an inclusive and Syrian-led political process, under the
auspices of the United Nations, that meets the legitimate aspirations of th e Syrian
people and the establishment of a constitutional committee that would prepare the
work for free and fair elections and political transition in line with Security Council
