In a letter addressed to both the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the Security Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said that his country deplores the convening of this conference for the fifth time without inviting the Syrian government, the party concerned about the affairs and needs of the Syrian people, and the main partner of the United Nations and the international community in humanitarian work in Syria.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered that the participation of the United Nations in the presidency of this conference in the absence of the government of the country in question represents a clear violation of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, that demand respect for the sovereignty and independence of the Syrian Arab Republic and the unity and territorial integrity of its territories.

The Foreign Ministry continued: “The organizers of the Brussels conferences have always demanded their support for the Syrian people and the provision of assistance to them by mobilizing the Member States to allocate the necessary financial resources, but the facts have shown that this The conference has become a tool of pressure and blackmail by donors to impose their dictates on the mechanisms of delivery of humanitarian aid and politicization of humanitarian work. And to bind it to terms that totally contradict the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality. , independence and other restrictions contained Resolution 182-18 of the General Assembly.
He also indicated that the facts have also shown that many donors have not fulfilled their declarative promises and that the greatest amount of aid is destined if it is delivered to neighboring countries and regions outside the control of the Syrian government, which leads to prolonging the crisis. and limit efforts to improve the humanitarian situation.
The ministry stated that Syria stresses that the repetition by representatives of the European Union of the conditions to contribute to development work in Syria would hamper efforts aimed at the reconstruction and rehabilitation of civilian facilities and the infrastructure necessary to provide the appropriate environment for the return of refugees and displaced persons to their areas of origin with dignity and safety.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry said its country claims that improving the living conditions of the Syrian people requires engaging in serious and constructive cooperation with the Syrian government and supporting its efforts with its humanitarian partners to meet humanitarian needs and provide support to Syrians wherever they are. in the territory of the country.
He also emphasized that the center of humanitarian work in Syria is Damascus and not any other city in neighboring countries or beyond, and this is the simplest meaning of the principle of respecting the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Syria.
