Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro underlined the creation of the National Transitional Authority and the national authority for disappeared people who should help reveal the fate of the more than 100,000 Syrians estimated to have disappeared forcre or disappeared.

They should also expose the truth about systematic violations such as arbitrary detention, torture and ill -treatment, and on generalized attacks that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and mutilated millions during hostilities.

Syria continues along the transitional path after the reversal of the Assad regime last December.

Wave of reprisals

Mr. Pinheiro said the security vacuum cleaner had left after the dismissal of the armed forces and security services, as well as a lack of clarity on the new framework of justice, contributed to an atmosphere where victims of crimes and past violations tried to take the law in their hands and settle the scores.

The reprisal attacks that took place in coastal areas in March, and on a smaller scale in other parts of the country, were “partly a response to five decades of systematic crimes perpetrated by impunity security forces that affected all Syrians,” he said.

“More recently, sectarian lines of fault have also been fed by widespread hate speeches and incentives against Alawis, Off and online, including messages with false information that would often come from abroad. »»

Eye control accounts

The commission made its last visit to Syria last week and went to several places on the coast where murders and looting had occurred. The team met several civil and security authorities, as well as eyewitnesses and families of the victims.

“First -hand accounts of the survivors of these events … revealed in detail how the residential areas were attacked by large groups of armed men, including many members of factions now affiliated with the State. They explained to us how the attackers owned, mistreated and executed Alawis, “he said.

He recognized the creation by the provisional authorities of a national investigation to investigate violations as well as a high -level additional committee to maintain civil peace. In addition, dozens of alleged perpetrators have been arrested.

“Protection of civilians is essential to prevent new violations and crimes,” he said.

“We welcome the president’s commitment (Ahmed) al-Sharaa to hold responsible officials to restore the confidence of state institutions among the affected communities. »»

He also underlined A fatal attack on a Greek Orthodox church In Damascus last Sunday, claiming that the authorities must ensure the protection of places of worship and threatened communities, and the authors and catalysts must be held responsible.

Foreign intervention

Mr. Pinheiro told the Council that “the Syrian conflict did not miss internal challenges and grievances, many of which were aggravated by foreign interventions.”

In recent weeks, Israel has carried out a wave of air strikes in and around Damascus, including near the presidential palace. The military bases and the arms deposits in Daraa, Hama, Tartous and Latakia were also targeted as part of its sustained military campaign in Syria. Several civilians have been killed.

Civilian victims have also been reported in the context of Israeli operations in the Tampon zone of Quneitra and southwest Daraa monitored by the force of observer of the United Nations disengagement (Take off))

“These actions raise serious concerns of violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, as the UN Secretary General (António) recently said,” he said.

Millions in need

Mr. Pinheiro said that more than two million Syrians have returned home since December, including nearly 600,000 from neighboring countries and just under 1.5 million in -house (PDI).

“For many of the more than seven million Syrians who remain inappropriate, massive ownership challenges will have to be met following the destruction, looting and confiscation of houses and land,” he said.

In addition, he noted that “despite the recent encouraging stages towards the lifting of sectoral sanctions and the opening of the country to new investments, nearly 16.5 million Syrians remain in humanitarian assistance”. Among them, nearly three million people faced with severe food insecurity.

Mr. Pinheiro concluded his remarks, saying that “the repeated commitments of the interim authorities to protect the rights of all and all communities in Syria without discrimination of any kind are encouraging” and “should be welcomed with the necessary support of the international community”.

About the Commission

THE Independent International Commission for the Syrian Arab Republic was by the Human Rights Council In August 2011 with a mandate to investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law since March 2011.

The members are Mr. Pinheiro and the commissioners Hanny Megally and Lynn Welchman.

They are not UN staff and receive no payment for their work.

Jean-Pierre Lacroix informed journalists of his recent visit to the two countries before Security advice Meetings on the extension of the mandates of the provisional force of the United Nations in Lebanon (Unifil) and the strength of the United Nations Observer of disengagement (Take off) in the Golan.

He said that Unifil “worked very hard” following the cessation of hostilities.

Achievements in Lebanon

The agreement last November between Lebanon and Israel followed more than a year of fighting the Lebanese territory between Hezbollah activists and the Israeli forces, linked to the war in Gaza.

“I believe there are a number of achievements that have been made with the support of Unifil,” he said.

Mr. Lacroix reported that the Lebanese Armed Forces (Laf) continued to strengthen their presence in the south of the Litani river, with the support of Unifil. The mission also worked to identify and neutralize weapons caches.

In addition, UNIFIL also continues to play a role of critical connection and disinfusion between the LAF and the Israeli defense forces (IDF), and supports the local population, including by the action of mines and the compensation roads.

While highlighting these achievements, he stressed that more must be done to carry out the complete implementation of the Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006), which defines Unifil’s mandate, noting that violations continue.

Mr. Lacroix also interacted with the Lebanese authorities who have “unequivocally” the critical need for the continuous presence of the mission.

His visit also coincided with the last days in the commander of Unifil Force commander, General Aroldo Lázaro Sáenz, whom he praised for managing the mission “for extremely difficult moments”.

He also welcomed the commander of the incoming force Diodato Abagnara and wished him all the best in the future.

Developments in Syria

Meanwhile, Undod continues its role “of extremely important importance” in connection with the Syrian and Israeli authorities and striving to resolve the conflict.

He said that the presence of TSAhal in the so-called separation zone is a violation because the only time can be a military presence, according to the designation agreement of the forces of 1973.

Mr. Lacroix interacted with senior officials from the provisional authorities in Syria who expressed their support for UNDOD, adding that communication between them has improved.

“At the same time, I have heard the Syrian authorities very clearly that they are ready to assume the full authority of the entire Syrian territory, in particular in deployment of the military and security at all of Syrian territory,” he said.

“This includes the area where Undod is, of course, according to and in accordance with the provisions of the 1973 agreement.”

He praised this “expression of preparation” while stressing that the objective of the UNFOD is a return to the complete implementation of the agreement.

Friday, deputy secretary general Amina Mohammed launched a new report, Confront the debt crisis: 11 actions to unlock sustainable funding.

She was joined by Mahmoud Mohiengin and Paolo Gentiloni experts, as well as Rebeca Grynspan, head of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Trecta).

A growing crisis

“The loan is essential for development,” said Mohammed, but today, “the loan does not work for many developing countries, more than two -thirds of our low -income countries are in debt debt or high risk. »»

The crisis accelerates, warned Ms. Grynspan.

More than 3.4 billion people now live in countries that spend more in payments of interest than for health or education – 100 million more than last year.

Payments of debt services by developing countries increased $ 74 billion in a single year, from $ 847 billion to $ 921 billion.

“The nature of this crisis is mainly linked to the increase in debt service costs,” said Mr. Gentiloni. “In practice, debt services have doubled in the past ten years.”

Prepared by the UN secretary general group of experts on debt, the report strengthens advanced commitments in the Seville compromisoThe result document of Fourth International Conference on Development Financing – Taking up next week.

A long way

The report describes 11 actions which are both technically feasible and politically viable.

Mr. Mohieldin explained that the recommendations are two key objectives: providing significant debt relief and preventing future crises.

It identifies three levels of action:

Multilateral level: Reuse and reconstruct funds to inject cash into the system, with targeted support for low -income countries.

International: Establish a platform for borrowers and creditors to engage directly.

Nationally: strengthen institutional capacity, improve policies coordination, manage interest rates and strengthen risk management.

“These are eleven proposals that are doable and that only need the political will of all actors to be able to make them real,” said Ms. Grynspan.

Since January, the region has experienced a new escalation of violence while the M23 armed group supported by Rwanda has launched an offensive in the northern and southern Kivu provinces.

While tensions persist in the DRC, fronts and negotiation positions move, paving the way for peace, Security advice heard this Friday.

The path to lasting peace in the DRC requires a “collective action”, said Bintou KeitaHead of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the country, Monusco.

“Priority must be given to dialogue on division, and national cohesion must be actively preserved,” she said.

However, while diplomatic efforts focus on the means of fighting the current crisis, the situation in other regions within MonuscoThe field of operations also requires urgent attention.

Humanitarian situation

With seven million people currently displaced across the country, 27.8 million people faced with food insecurity and nearly 1.4 million children in acute malnutrition, the humanitarian situation is disastrous.

The security crisis in the east of the country has worsened the humanitarian situation, but due to funding reductions, Monusco does not have enough means to respond accordingly.

The suspension of funding from the main monusco donor, which covered 70% of the humanitarian response in 2024, “forced humanitarian actors to focus only on vital emergencies,” said Keita.

“We are at the end of July and the humanitarian response plan is 11% funded,” she added.

Insecurity, sexual violence and kidnapping

Violence in the east of the country continues to disproportionately affect women, boys and girls, in particular, because rape and other forms of sexual violence are always systematically used as weapons of war.

Men and boys accused of links with opposite forces are at risk of kidnapping, while women and girls who have survived sexual violence are faced with seriously limited access to health care, because health establishments are often targeted by attacks.

In 2025, more than 290 schools were destroyed, the current violence cycles keeping 1.3 million children away from the education system in Ituri, in the east of the country.

In a briefing striking at Human Rights Council In Geneva, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, described a country seized by war, repression and deepening of suffering.

Since the military coup In February 2021, nearly 6,800 civilians were killed and more than 22,000 remain arbitrarily detained, he said. Humanitarian needs have skyrocketed, with nearly 22 million people needing help and more than 3.5 million conflicts by the conflict.

“The report I present today concerns the inhabitants of Myanmar and their aspirations for a better future,” said Türk.

“” Despite massive challenges, people from all over society strive to build a peaceful, sustainable, democratic and diversified myanmar, based on human rights.“”

A crisis has worsened

However, the conditions on the ground are only aggravated.

According to a March 28 Earthquake This killed nearly 4,000 people and left six million urgent needs, the soldiers intensified the attacks instead of facilitating relief, said Türk.

The United Nations Human Rights Office, Ohchrhas documented more than 600 military strikes from the earthquake – 94% of them occurring during supposed censurons – with schools, religious sites and other frequently targeted locations.

Situation in Rakhine

The situation in the state of Rakhine remains particularly disastrous, with civilians – the Muslim Rohingyas in particular – taken between the Myanmar army and the Arakane army, an ethnic armed group. In addition, the obstruction continues by the humanitarian access soldiers has aggravated an already acute crisis.

Throughout the country, economic collapse and the rupture of public institutions have aggravated suffering.

Nearly four out of five people now live below or just above the poverty line and around 1.3 million have fled the country-many undertake perilous travel on the ground and at sea. Until now, in 2025, almost one in five people trying sea passages in the region has been reported dead or disappeared.

Final violence, ensure responsibility

THE High commissioner report Described four key pathways to lay the foundations for a transition to a peaceful and democratic Myanmar: justice and responsibility, democratic governance; Economic reform to serve the people and supported international commitment.

Mr. Türk stressed that responsibility must start with the release of all political prisoners and the pursuit of the serious human rights violations.

“It is imperative for the military to put an end to violence immediately, to allow unhindered humanitarian access and to release all those detained arbitrarily,” he said.

“” In the midst of turmoil, planning a future with the front and the human rights center offers people a feeling of hope. We owe the people of Myanmar to make this hope a reality.“”

Alarm of the independent expert

Tom Andrews, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation in MyanmarEcho the warnings of the High Commissioner, alarming on a collapse of international humanitarian support and the repression of the military.

“The junta has chosen to use aid as a weapon,” he told the council.

“I spoke with humanitarian workers physically blocked at the control points and I received reports from survivors of the earthquake expelled from shelters without a place to go.”

Mr. Andrews, who was appointed and mandated by the Human Rights Council and is not a member of UN staff – also warned that drastic reductions in international funding have already had serious consequences.

As of June 27, the full humanitarian response plan of $ 1.14 billion for the country is funded at 12% and the Addendum of $ 275 million for the response of the earthquake is around 37%.

At a time when the inhabitants of Myanmar need an increased level of support from the international community, they obtained the opposite, said Mr. Andrews, warning that the cost of human lives and human sufferings will soon be “clearly worse”.

“” Is this dangerous trend raises the question-are human rights important?He asked.

“” Because if human rights matter, if children’s lives in Myanmar, why are so many governments reluctant to invest even a quantity of modest resources to save lives?“”

Friday, the UN Security advice Heard briefings that give to think of Martha Ama Akya Pobe, UN deputy secretary general for Africa, and Shayna Lewis, Sudan specialist and main advisor to prevent and end the mass atrocities (PAEMA), an organization based in the United States.

Ms. Pobee stressed that the front lines continue to move while the RSF and the SAF continue with their military objectives, warning: “The parties at war seem implacable in their determination to pursue the military objectives.”

It noted the growing use of advanced weapons, including long -range drones, which have widened violence in previously stable areas.

Ms. Pobee also warned that the conflict spread further in the region, citing recent reports of violent clashes in the tri-frontraire zone between Sudan, Libya and Egypt, involving the SAF, the RSF and the forces affiliated to the Libyan national army.

Human rights violations

Ms. Pobee also referred to the reports of United Nations Human Rights documenting a tripling of arbitrary civil murders between February and April this year.

“The rooted impunity feeds these violations and abuses and other brutal human rights. All parties to the conflict must be held responsible, ”she said.

Ms. Lewis’ briefing focused on worsening the humanitarian situation, highlighting the more than 15 million children who now need help due to the attacks on civilians.

Back from a recent visit to Sudan, she shared children’s accounts seriously injured in hospitals and stressed that up to 80% of health establishments in conflict areas no longer work.

She also cited examples of blind attacks against hospitals by the SAF and the RSF, including an alleged SAF drone strike on June 21 which hit a hospital in West Kordofan, killing more than 40 people and destroying critical rescue equipment.

Ms. Lewis and Ms. Pobee took the alarm in the face of the generalized use of sexual and sexual violence by the parties at war against women and girls through Sudan.

Government of Hope

Despite current violence and human rights violations, Pobee stressed the importance of the new “government of hope”.

On May 31, a new interim prime minister was inaugurated, announcing reform plans and immediately appointing a professional technocrats’ firm.

Ms. Pobee also recognized the efforts of the personal envoy of the UN Secretary General to Sudan, Ramtane Lamamra, who got involved with the Prime Minister, the civil groups and the parties at war.

Thanks to this crucial communication, the personal envoy helps these stakeholders work towards an inclusive political resolution.

“I urge this advice – again – to unite to provide total support for the efforts of the personal envoy Lamamra and to use its influence with the parties and their external donors to put pressure on a real commitment in dialogue and de -escalation,” said Pobe.

The ambassadors also heard a briefing by the president of the Sudan sanctions committee, established by the Council under Resolution 1591 (2005)on the work of the committee. After the open briefing, the council held closed consultations during which the personal envoy Lamamra also informed the members.
