UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY PRESIDENT URGES INTERNATIONAL PUSH FOR DIPLOMATIC
SOLUTION TO SYRIAN CRISISNew York, Sep 12 2013 5:00PMAt this "crucial
moment" for Syria and the wider Middle East, the President of the
United Nations General Assembly today called on Member States to push
for a diplomatic solution to the crisis by supporting efforts to bring
all parties to the conflict to the negotiating table at a proposed
conference in Geneva.

"What happens in Syria in the weeks ahead will profoundly bear upon
the security and well-being of the entire region of the Middle East,
and possibly the whole world," said Vuk Jeremic.

"All our endeavours must be put in the service of bringing about the
immediate unconditional cessation of hostilities, and inducing the
conflicting parties to engage in dialogue."

Mr. Jeremic emphasized his belief that the only way to end the
bloodshed in Syria is through political dialogue, which can be
achieved by getting all relevant parties to take part in the proposed
international peace conference on Syria (Geneva II).

The goal of the conference would to be to achieve a political solution
to the conflict through a comprehensive agreement between the Syrian
Government and the opposition for the full implementation of the
Geneva communiqué of 30 June 2012.

"I strongly urge Member States to act in furtherance of this goal.
Continued militarization would only deepen the suffering of the people
of Syria, and cause further radicalization of the conflict," Mr.
Jeremic said.

He also noted that if allegations regarding the use of chemical agents
by a party to the conflict are proven accurate, Member States should
unite and develop an appropriate response, in full respect of
international law, including the centrality of the Security Council's
role under the UN Charter.

Meanwhile, the Joint Special Representative of the UN and the League
of Arab States, Lakhdar Brahimi, has been working with other senior
diplomats to bring the Geneva Conference to fruition. Today he met
with United States Secretary of State John Kerry, who reiterated his
commitment to the conference.

"We hope that once they have done what they have to do with the
Russians on this chemical issue, we will start talking again about
Geneva," Mr. Brahimi said to reporters in the Swiss city.

The biomedical and environmental samples taken by the UN chemical
weapons inspection team from the alleged 21 August attack in the
Ghouta area outside Damascus are currently being analyzed in four
European laboratories.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that scientists are working
"around the clock" to ensure a rapid result but one that also respects
the highest professional standards and without compromising its
integrity.

Results of the analyses will be shared with Mr. Ban, who will then
share them with the 15-member Security Council and all 193 Member
States.Sep 12 2013 5:00PM
