Damascus, SANA- The Syrian Arab Republic joins the international community in commemorating the International Day of the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared, affirming its moral, national, and humanitarian commitment to one of the most complex tragedies that has burdened our people for decades. It renews its pledge that this issue will remain a national priority that can only be resolved by providing justice to the victims, revealing the truth, and restoring dignity to their families.
In this context, the Syrian government affirms that the establishment of the Syrian National Commission for Missing Persons constitutes a historic step that reflects the national will to address this issue with an independent authority, prioritizing the preservation of Syrian sovereignty and the embodiment of justice as the only path to healing wounds, far from attempts at politicization or exploitation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates stresses that perpetrators of war crimes and gross human rights violations will not escape accountability, and that justice will remain the foundation upon which any genuine resolution of this issue is based.
On this occasion, Syria calls on the international community, UN organizations, and friendly countries to support the national efforts by providing technical and humanitarian support and supplying the National Commission with the information and documents available to them, thus enhancing its efficiency and restoring hope and confidence to thousands of families exhausted by waiting.
The Syrian Arab Republic affirms that the issue of the missing is a universal humanitarian issue that transcends affiliations and divisions. The Syrian government will continue to pursue it until the end, in loyalty to the souls of those who have been lost, in justice for their families, and in preservation of human dignity, which constitutes the fundamental foundation for building a new Syria—a Syria of justice and dignity.
