Kuwait expresses concern toward attacks on civilians in Syria

GENEVA, March 21 (KUNA) -- The State of Kuwait on Tuesday expressed concern toward attacks targeting civilians in Syria as documented by the independent fact-finding commission in Syria.
The Kuwaiti stand was expressed by the permanent representative at the UN and other International Organizations in Geneva, Ambassador Nasser Al-Hayen, in an address to the UN Human Rights Council during an examination of a report filed by the commission.
The State of Kuwait believes that tackling the humanitarian crisis in Syria hinges on ending the conflict that in turn can only be resolved through a political process, according to the 2023 Geneva declaration and the UN Security Council resolution 2245, he said.
It calls on all parties to observe the cease-fire and revive the political process, masterminded by the UN special envoy for Syria, ambassador Al-Hayen said.
Al-Hayen confirmed that Kuwait had allocated USD 50 million worth of aid for the Syrian people in the aftermath of the recent earthquakes that jolted the nation. (end) ta.rk
