Syria-Regional, Politics, 10/21/2005

Syria, which had suffered from terrorism, stands by the international efforts exerted to uproot terrorism for a world free of the armed conflict and governed by international law and principles of legitimacy resolutions, Syrian delegation interposition at the International Parliamentary Federation's General Assembly underlined Thursday.

"It is the time for extermination of the sources of terrorism and giving up arbitrary and oppression policy, as well as for distinguishing between terrorism and peoples' right to resist occupation and liberate their homes," the interposition said.

In another interposition at meeting of the federation's second permanent committee on immigration and development, the delegation pointed out to the damages of involuntary immigration resulting form civil wars, armed occupation and immigration under the political pressure. The delegation gave an example on coercive displacement that "our citizens in the occupied Syrian Golan and in Palestine are exposed to at the hands of the Israeli occupation," calling on the international community to condemn coercive displacement and refuse all kinds of racial and ethnic forced migration.

In a third interposition during discussing a draft report of the third permanent committee, the delegation said that "democracy is not a one form that suits all peoples but rather it is forms inspired by peoples' life and it must match with their free will in addition to their political, social and economic circumstances."

Syria effectively took part at deliberations of International Parliamentary Federation's General Assembly which concluded its 113th session in Geneva today.
