STORYLINE:
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for immediate humanitarian access to all civilians in Syria, and a return to political process to end the bloodshed at a press meeting on Thursday.
SOUNDBITE (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General
"I just spoke with President Erdogan of Türkiye to discuss the latest. I emphasized the urgent need for immediate humanitarian access to all civilians in need - and a return to the UN-facilitated political process to end the bloodshed. All parties are obligated under international law to protect civilians.
Now, this latest offensive was launched into Government-controlled areas by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham - a group sanctioned by the Security Council - along with a broad range of other armed opposition groups. It has led to significant shifts in the frontlines. Tens of thousands of civilians are at risk in a region already on fire. We are seeing the bitter fruits of a chronic collective failure of previous de-escalation arrangements to produce a genuine nationwide ceasefire or a serious political process to implement Security Council resolutions. These must change.
After 14 years of conflict, it is high time for all parties to engage seriously with Geir Pedersen, my Special Envoy for Syria, to finally chart a new, inclusive and comprehensive approach to resolving this crisis, in line with Security Council resolution 2254. It is time for serious dialogue. In other words, restoring Syria's sovereignty, unity, independence, and territorial integrity -- and meeting the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people. It breaks my heart to see their suffering grow - along with the threats to regional, and indeed, international security. I once again urge all those with influence to do their part for the long-suffering people of Syria."
