Assad Regime Retains Senior Position on UN Committee for Human Rights
Posted by Scott Lucas | Feb 20, 2021 |
The Assad regime has retained its position on a UN committee upholding human rights through opposition to the “subjugation, domination and exploitation” of peoples.
The announcement came on the same day that the UN Commission of Inquiry of Syria, in a report on the 10-year Syrian conflict, summarized that the regime is engaged in “widespread commission” of “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity”.
The Special Committee on Decolonization has 24 nation-state members. It considers the status of territories such as the Western Sahara, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Gibraltar, the Falklands, Bermuda, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia.
