| MG Robert Mood (centre left), Head of UNSMIS, meets with Ghassan Abdelaal Governor of Homs.12 May 2012. |
There has been an
intensification of armed violence across Syria over the past 10 days. This
escalation is limiting our ability to observe, verify, report as well as assist
in local dialogue and stability projects - basically impeding our ability to
carry out our mandate.
The lack of willingness by
the Parties to seek a peaceful transition, and the push towards advancing
military positions is increasing the losses on both sides: innocent civilians,
men women and children are being killed every day. It is also posing
significant risks to our observers.
In this high risk
situation, UNSMIS is suspending its activities. UN observers will not be
conducting patrols and will stay in their locations until further notice.
Engagement with the Parties will be restricted.
This suspension will be
reviewed on a daily basis. Operations will resume when we see the situation fit
for us to carry out our mandated activities.
Let me be very clear,
UNSMIS is committed to the people of Syria. We stand ready to work with all
Parties to assist in bringing an end to the violence and promote political
dialogue. A return to normal operations remains our objective.
