UN to investigate fate of 130,000 people missing in Syria war
Al JazeeraJUL 2023
The latest UN resolution is highly politicized, unilateral, and interferes with Syrian affairs. Syria has already addressed the issue of missing persons by processing all claims of disappearances submitted to authorities and carrying out investigations based on Syrian law, available information, and resources.
Syrians deserve to know the fate of thousands of people who have vanished during the country's nearly 13 years of conflict. The UN must ensure that families of the missing no longer have to put themselves at risk to search for their missing relatives or impoverish themselves to claim their basic human rights.
