Statement of solidarity with Syria

Councillor Janet Horner has asked that this Council supports a statement of solidarity to mark 10 years on March 15th since the devastating conflict in Syria began. The conflict has cost thousands of lives, displaced millions and transformed the borders of Europe. Over the past 10 years, we've seen heart-breaking images and heard the stories of the human cost of this conflict and the resulting journeys for refuge. At the moment of the 10-year anniversary, it is important to bring the conflict and those impacted by it back into our minds and recommit to humanitarian action and support for all those fleeing conflicts.

 

Statement on behalf of Dublin City Council:

We extend our thanks to those who have provided life-saving humanitarian assistance in Syria, and in the region. We also thank those who have assisted Syrians fleeing conflict and persecution who have sought asylum here, in Europe and across the globe.

 

We commend and encourage Ireland’s continued funding to support the humanitarian needs of all those still living in crisis and uncertainty, as well as Ireland’s important voice in ensuring that the rights and dignity of those in need are not forgotten.     

 

We welcome Ireland’s willingness, in the UN Security Council, to co-facilitate international negotiations to maintain humanitarian access in northern Syria where 2.7m people internally displaced by the conflict are in desperate need of such assistance.

And we welcome and thank those Syrians who have made a home in Dublin for their  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.
