The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will vote Thursday to extend the provision of humanitarian aid by six months instead of one year at the request of Russia, a permanent member of the Security Council.

The original proposal, drafted by Ireland and Norway, required a 12-month extension of the program, which expires on Sunday without council action. Russia’s alternative is a six-month extension, and a “special working group” consisting of council members, major donors, local political parties, and representatives of international humanitarian agencies said, “According to the Associated Press, which obtained the resolution. resolution”.

The issue may not be determined until Friday, as the vote was reportedly postponed until late Thursday.

Last year, humanitarian aid provided to Syria’s Idlib province was reduced from two border crossings to one in Bab Al Hawa, far north, just west of Aleppo. According to Medecins du MondeMore than 2.4 million Syrians have benefited from this aid, with more than 9,500 food, medicine and other commodities crossing in 2021. MDM is one of the groups requesting an extension of 12 months.

The territory is mainly by Hay’at Tahrirash-Sham *, the latest iteration of Syrian al-Qaeda, formerly known as Jabhat Arnusla, as well as the Turkish army of its allies, which exist without the permission of the Syrian government. Dominated in Damascus.

In the past, Russia opposed expanding aid through Turkey and claimed to have violated Syria’s sovereignty to bypass its territory and supply rebels. Russia’s UN Deputy Ambassador, Dmitry Polyansky, accused the West last week of “flirting with terrorist elements and trying to use them for their own geopolitical purposes.”

“The main threat to security in Syria and the region as a whole is related to the continued large-scale presence of terrorists evacuated to areas not controlled by Damascus in Idlib, Zaevfratia and Attanf,” Poliansky said in June. The UN conference on the 28th.

“In this context, the path to resolving the Syrian crisis lies in the end of the existence of illegal foreign troops that violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Arab Republic of Syria and the unconditional suspension of normal Israeli air. We are confident that the strike, which finally struck Damascus International Airport on July 10, “added Polyansky.

Luis Moreno Ocampo, a former Supreme Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, told the UN Security Council ambassador that cross-border assistance of all kinds could help members of the Security Council find themselves. It means “I can do it.” Substantially support UN-designated terrorist organizations“According to the AP who got a copy of the letter.

To avoid a “serious breach” of its own resolution, the UNSC needs to carefully monitor deliveries to ensure that terrorist groups are “not involved in the implementation of humanitarian aid.” Another option, he said, was to remove Hay’at Tahrirash-Sham from the terrorist list.

* Jabhat al-Nusra (also known as Al-Nusra Front, Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, or Al Qaeda in Syria) is an outlawed terrorist group in Russia and many other states.
