Geneva, Jumada II 14, 1439, Mar 2, 2018, SPA -- The State of Kuwait supports the draft resolutions submitted by Britain concerning the humanitarian situation in Syria's Eastern Ghouta, Kuwaiti permanent delegate to the UN and international organizations headquarters in Geneva Ambassador Jamal Al-Ghunaim said Friday.
Speaking to KUNA, Ambassador Al-Ghunaim revealed that Kuwait is coordinating on the matter with Britain and other members of the UNHRC to bring to the spotlight the urgent humanitarian crisis in Eastern Ghouta.
The draft resolution will be supportive of the recent UNSC resolution 2401, which called for a 30-day ceasefire to allow humanitarian groups to operate in Ghouta, said Ambassador Al-Ghunaim.
He indicated that the draft resolution will touch on the humanitarian violations committed in the Syrian region and it will call for the prosecution of those behind such crimes.
The Kuwaiti diplomat indicated that investigations into violations in Eastern Ghouta would be added to the file of UN teams tasked with monitoring the humanitarian situation in Syria since 2012.
