Rhino: Follow-up – Al-Tahir Abu Bakr Hajar, a member of the Leadership Council of TASIS Alliance, praised the U.S. decision to deny the army commander a visa to attend the United Nations General Assembly meetings. Hajar described the decision as historic and considered it an extremely clear political and diplomatic message: that insistence on the military option and the rejection of peace initiatives should not be met with rewards or diplomatic privileges.
In a press statement on Wednesday, Hajar added: “It is time for the international community to move beyond mere statements of concern and condemnation and to take a more resolute stance toward those who obstruct the path to peace and prolong the war, particularly in light of serious allegations regarding the use of chemical weapons and collaboration with entities designated as terrorist organizations”.
The member of the leadership body of TASIS Alliance stressed the need for independent and transparent international investigations and for holding accountable anyone proven to be responsible for violations, regardless of their position or status.
He continued: “We hope that this resolution will be followed by more resolute international decisions and stances that contribute to ending the war, protecting civilians, and pushing the parties toward a just and sustainable peace. Peace is not preserved through politeness, but through serious stances that prioritize civilian lives and the rule of law over political considerations).
