The UN Secretary-General on Wednesday  warned at the Brussels Conference on support to Syrians and the region that the war crimes are going on and international humanitarian law continues to be violated frequently. António Guterres said, as conflict lines shift,  there may be a perception that the situation has eased, which is completely false. The Secretary-General said that the Brussels Conference must represent a moment of truth, when the international community takes decisive steps to increase its support for the victims of the Syria conflict, and for the neighbouring countries that are providing a safe haven for millions of refugees.Also speaking in Brussels, the Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, noted the pattern that every time there is a conference or meeting that can give some perception of hope about the future of Syria, there is a temptation by some, through horrific acts, to "kidnap" the event with a fresh outrage.Briefing the...
