Syria: UN General Assembly should condemn the violence in Syria

On November 17 2011 a large group of countries tabled in the Third Committee of the General Assembly a resolution condemning the systematic human rights violations by the Syrian authorities. The text calls for an end to the widespread abuses by the Syrian security apparatus and for the implementation of the plan of action of the Arab League. In this document civil society organizations urge the UN General assembly to support this resolution and demonstrate that the world will not simply stand idle while ordinary Syrians are being killed, arbitrarily detained, and tortured.
