Under the Security Council, controlled by five permanent members, including countries which have a dark, dictatorial and authoritarian history concerning the respect of human rights, it make us wonder how such a council can organize the world’s affairs objectively.

The Syrian Revolution which turned into an armed conflict , Undoubtedly proved that the various rules and international conventions concerning Human Rights and armed conflicts, particularly Customary IHL which is binding for all states, have been systematically violated by the Syrian Regime (and later unsystematically by some armed factions).  All of these violations were within the sight of the Security Council, Human Rights Council has repeatedly proved by hundreds of undoubted reports and researches.

This is a blatant defect in the protection of Syrian citizens from the regime that lost its sovereignty, which is responsible and not right.  That’s according to the United Nations’ Initiative 2005: R2P (Responsibility to Protect)

For us as human rights activists and defenders, not just in Syria even for most of our colleagues working in human rights field, it struck at the heart for tens of years’ efforts in the enactment of laws and human rights legislation, which we are watching collapse before our eyes because of political weakness and racial interests devoid of any human value.

This has led to a total collapse of human rights’ systems before the eyes of millions of human beings, and recalled the concept of absolute dependence on taking back the rights and spread of armament and killings – this is the main reason for the spread of extremist terrorism, which is considered as a reaction on the widespread of systematic and brutal terrorism practiced by Syrian Regime.

We can’t figure out any solution other than radical change of immoral and inhuman existing human rights system through revolution by all human rights, legal and media organizations that have ethics, humanitarian and professionalism in all of the world’s countries.
