To Mr. Kofi Annan, UN Envoy to Damascus: This is a distress call from the women and children of the city of Douma. The visit of the United Nations monitors, under your direction, has killed us today. We request that you immediately intervene to stop the bombing and killings carried out by the regime’s army, which is punishing the entire city because we received your delegation of observers with hospitality and professionalism. We have given the observers the documents necessary to prove that the regime is in ciminal violation of the cease-fire. What is happening now is that we have a tragic situation and sustained shelling, which has signficantly increased since the morning hours, and which increased in intensity and force as of 4:00 pm, with an average of four shells per minute. Dozens of wounded and martyrs have been reported during the past 3 hours. A large number of them are still under rubble and most homes in the city have been subjected to shelling and destruction. More than 30 tanks are now shelling the city. Residents are demanding immediate intervention to protect them, since the Free Syrian Army is under fire and unable to militarily repel this full-scale military assault. We urge you to immediately send in a group of monitors who can offer some sort of protection from the heavy military assault.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Arab League<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>, US<\/span><\/a><\/span>, EU states<\/span><\/a><\/span>, GCC states<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>, and other countries have condemned the use of violence against the protesters. China<\/strong><\/span> and Russia<\/strong><\/span> have avoided condemning the government or applying sanctions<\/span> > (UN Security Council Permanent Members)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>, saying that such methods could escalate into foreign intervention. However, military intervention has been ruled out by most countries.[60]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>[61]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> The Arab League suspended Syria’s membership over the government’s response to the crisis,[62]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> but sent an observer mission<\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/strong>in December 2011, as part of its proposal for peaceful resolution<\/span><\/a> of the crisis. The latest attempts to resolve the crisis has been made through the appointment of Kofi Annan<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>, <\/strong>as a special envoy<\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/strong>to resolve the Syrian crisis in the Middle East. http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Syrian_uprising<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Crimes against humanity<\/strong><\/span>, as defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> Explanatory Memorandum, „are particularly odious offenses in that they constitute a serious attack on human dignity<\/a> or grave humiliation or a degradation of one or more human beings. They are not isolated or sporadic events, but are part either of a government policy (although the perpetrators need not identify themselves with this policy) or of a wide practice of atrocities tolerated or condoned by a government or a de facto authority. Murder; extermination; torture; rape; political, racial, or religious persecution and other inhumane acts reach the threshold of crimes against humanity only if they are part of a widespread or systematic practice. Isolated inhumane acts of this nature may constitute grave infringements of human rights, or depending on the circumstances, war crimes<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>, but may fall short of falling into the category of crimes under discussion.“[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span>\u00a0 <\/a><\/sup>http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Crimes_against_humanity<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
