UN Security Council Briefing on the Situation in Syria

Briefing the UN Security Council members on 20 September on the situation in Syria, the UN Special Envoy expressed deep concern over “an attack this morning on a vehicle at Damascus International Airport”.

The Special Envoy repeated the Secretary-General’s strong appeal for maximum restraint at this extremely dangerous moment for the entire region. He also emphasized the need for a political process in Syria, stressed that “it is unrealistic to think that stability can be achieved without a political process, among the warring Syrian sides themselves, facilitated by the United Nations.”
