The Syrian-Iranian-Russian Alliance Came First in Killings, followed by ISIS, and the International Coalition

Cluster Two Rounds of Geneva Talks

Facts and evidences, through the daily cumulative documentation conducted by SNHR team, are telling us that we are definitely still far away from the stage of shrinking and reducing the crisis. The international community, the states that sponsor the negotiations in particular, haven’t taken any steps to limit the crisis’s deadly manifestations, in order to transition to the negotiation stage. The Syrian-Iranian-Russian alliance is responsible for the most part, as it perpetrated vastly more violations than the rest of the parties to the conflict. The warplanes haven’t ceased the bombardment of civilian neighborhoods for one day, and tens of vital civilian facilities have been also bombed. We will be including only, however, hospitals, schools, and markets. Talking about releasing detainees and ending the siege have become a distant luxury. There won’t be a settlement or a negotiation path as long as the U.N. won’t work with local partners to monitor the ceasefire, and hold those who violate it accountable.
 
We are going to shed light on the killings, arrests, and incidents of attack on some of the vital civilian facilities. SNHR team documented between Geneva Talks’ 4th and 5th round, between Monday, February 20, 2017, and Thursday, March 23, 2017 the following:
 
A. Extrajudicial killing
