Statement at the 34th Session of the Human Rights Council Item 4 – Interactive Dialogue with the Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic

The Holy See reiterates its solidarity with the Syrian people and especially with the victims of violence, and encourages the international community to embrace the perspective of victims. Six years of senseless slaughter expose once again the illusion, and the futility, of war as a mean to settle disputes.The unjust suffering of the innocent victims of this senseless slaughter should motivate all involved parties to engage in a serious dialogue and to work towards a future of peace and justice.
