has been immense.<\/p>\n<p>It is now a new era in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Syrians now face the task of establishing a stable, peaceful and inclusive future for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>All Syrians must work together to restore peace, rebuild institutions, and promote inclusive development.<\/p>\n<p>The human rights and dignity of all Syrians\u2014regardless of their ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, or gender\u2014must be respected and upheld.<\/p>\n<p>This transition will not be easy.<\/p>\n<p>While the moment holds promise, it also demands caution.<\/p>\n<p>To move forward, we must support efforts grounded in inclusivity, justice, and reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>Without accountability for the most serious crimes under international law committed in Syria, it will not be possible to ensure long-term stability, peace and security.<\/p>\n<p>Those responsible for all human rights violations must be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>This must extend to violations committed from March 2011 through December 2024, and to those committed subsequently.<\/p>\n<p>As Syrians begin rebuilding, the support of the international community will be critical.<\/p>\n<p>This includes the support of the International Impartial and Independent Mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Established by the General Assembly, the Mechanism plays a vital role in collecting, preserving, and analysing evidence of the most serious crimes committed in Syria since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Its work remains indispensable to ensuring accountability and laying the groundwork for justice and reconciliation in Syria\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>We must match words with action\u2014through sustained engagement, coordinated assistance, and constructive diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>Syria\u2019s sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity must be protected and respected by all.<\/p>\n<p>We must remain focused and committed, as Syrians take steps toward a more just, secure, and united future.<\/p>\n<p>I thank you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: black\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: black\">___<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\">\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: #242424\">Media Contacts<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: #242424\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: #242424\">Sharon Birch, Spokesperson for the President of the General Assembly, Tel: +1 212 963 0564, M: +1 646 342 5873, Email: <\/span><b><u><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: blue\"><a title=\"mailto:birchs@un.org\" href=\"mailto:birchs@un.org\" data-linkindex=\"0\">birchs@un.org<\/a><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: #242424\">Dr. Mariam Shaikh, Adviser\/ Social and Digital Media\/Media Relations, M: +1 917 3614990, Email: <\/span><b><u><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: blue\"><a title=\"mailto:mariam.shaikh@un.org\" href=\"mailto:mariam.shaikh@un.org\" data-linkindex=\"1\">mariam.shaikh@un.org<\/a><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: #242424\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: #242424\">More Information and Updates\u00a0: <\/span><b><u><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: blue\"><a title=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/79\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/79\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-linkindex=\"2\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Website<\/a><\/span><\/u><\/b><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: #242424\">: \u00a0<\/span><b><u><span style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;color: blue\"><a title=\"Original URL: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµPGA.
