On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a landmark document that laid the foundation for international human rights law. Born out of the horrors of World War II and the global struggle against fascism, the UDHR aimed to guarantee the basic rights and freedoms of every individual, regardless of nationality, race, gender, religion, or other status.

Bashar al-Assad was overthrown in just two weeks by anti-regime forces – mainly jihadists – who advanced throughout Syria at breakneck speed, without facing any substantial military resistance, finally taking over Damascus. The overthrow of the regime came as a result of its internal disintegration and the withdrawal of support from its external allies. The current situation is the culmination of a number of factors that have affected the political and social structure of Syria in recent years.

The civilized World is shocked each day by reports of Jewish Israeli mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza and the images of the immense suffering of children and adults in a devastated city largely reduced to rubble. Numbers matter and shocking quantitative comparisons between the Gaza deaths and (a) WW2 Nazi and Japanese atrocities and (b) present global death statistics demand that the World must act to apply rigorous sanctions on Apartheid Israel to stop the killing and Occupation now.

As we mark the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, the Israeli government has brought the Middle East to the brink of war. Backed by the West, Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, and the conflict has expanded to fronts like Lebanon. Israeli actions in Iran and Lebanon have escalated tensions, drawing in Tehran. The humanitarian toll is immense, with over 40,000 Palestinians killed and millions displaced.
