The Secretary-General strongly condemns today’s attacks in Damascus, which killed more than 50 persons and injured scores of others. He expresses his sympathy to the victims and their families. The Secretary-General reiterates his urgent call on all sides fully to comply with their obligations to cease armed violence in all its forms, and to protect civilians, as well as to distance themselves from indiscriminate bombings and other terrorist acts. All sides must abide by Security Council resolution 2043 and the six point plan, which commit the parties to a peaceful resolution of the crisis. The Secretary-General underscores once more the need for immediate and full cooperation with UN efforts aimed at ending all violence and human rights violations, securing humanitarian access and facilitating a Syrian-led political transition leading to a democratic and plural political system in Syria. The United Nations is committed to continue doing all it can to achieve these goals.
