Abstract

A military zone of tension is usually classified as an area of ​​armed conflict by the International Committee of the Red Cross and relevant United Nations bodies. In this sense, the areas of armed conflict are subject to the four Geneva Conventions and the three protocols thereto. Since the founding of the United Nations, the party directly concerned with the cessation of armed conflict and the establishment of peace and a political abroach of a solution has been the Security Council, whether or not it has been under Chapter VII. This is what we witnessed in the wars and armed conflicts we witnessed before and after the end of the Cold War, more than 80 percent of which occurred outside the North or the economic and geopolitical decision-making centers of the System-world today.

There have been many instances of armed conflict that have ended in military victory for one of the parties to the conflict, and other situations that have been negotiated to end the conflict outside the United Nations roof. The Taif agreement to end the civil war in Lebanon, as was the Oslo agreement between the Palestinians and the Israelis. However, these agreements are usually baptized either by the major powers concerned or by the Security Council.The Scandinavian Institute for Human Rights has reserved since the end of 2011 on the policy of building axes in Syria. The President of the Institute refused the invitation of President Moncef Marzouki to the Friends of the Syrian People meeting in Tunis and invitation of Ambassador Eric Chavalier to the second meeting in Paris. He asked the foreign ministers of a number of Member States not to enter Syria in the game of axes, Because it is the Syrian citizen who will pay the price of a bitter proxy war for others by the Syrian blood.He called the special envoy for Syria Lakhdar Brahimi and after Stephan De Mistura to seek a common position of the permanent members of the Security Council put an end to the armed conflict, which was internationalized by the heavy entry of jihadists and the entry of militias loyal to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the other side, in confrontations that civilians formed 90 percent of the dead and wounded.Perhaps the Vienna meetings prior to the adoption of Security Council resolution 2254 were the first collective meeting of the various stakeholders in the Syrian case. However, in the past three years, no respect has been given to this resolution, particularly paragraphs 11,12,13,14, which the Secretary-General of the United Nations has been entrusted with implementing within 60 days.Today the country is divided into three main areas of influence, 1- the eastern Euphrates region controlled by the Kurdish People’s Protection Unities under the banner of the Syrian Democratic Forces, 2- the northern and eastern part of Aleppo, which is shared by pro-Turkish factions and jihadist factions on the international terror lists, 3-  the Syrian regime control. The eastern region of the Euphrates has received the cover and direct American support. It seems that the US administration, after the withdrawal of US President Trump from his decision to withdraw, consider it a paper used either to pressure the Turkish side or possible confrontations with the Iranian regime. While the political-military leadership of the People’s Protection Units lives under opium effects, Aldar Khalil calls it “the first democratic experiment in the history”?In the Turkish control areas (inside and outside Turkish territory) more than five million Syrian citizens. Turkey pays the salaries of the Turkish back FSA and controls its decisions and positions fully, while the Hatash (New Nosra) controls important strategic positions in Idlib and coordinates directly with the Guardians of Religion and the Islamic Party of Turkmenistan and other non-Syrian factions in the region.As for the control areas of the regime, an undisclosed power struggle between the Iranian and Russian sides has emerged for months, and the appeasement process began with the sale of land and the sale of public facilities. The role of war traffickers is further strengthened in the economy of the country and people, so that the living conditions of people are the worst situation a human can bear. It is no longer a sovereign decision of the regime, and the only files controlled by its security services are files of arrests, prosecutions and robberies.In the opposition, the political bodies that exist today are the negotiating body and the rest of the coalition, the NCB and five of the 176 participants at the Cairo conference named by Egyptian foreign ministry and four from the Moscow platform. It is ironic that Mr. Nasr Hariri declares in this tragic situation, and in the manner in which Khalil is in anesthetizing the population: “I must believe in the following: The National Coalition represents me politically, the negotiating body represents me in the negotiations, the interim government is the executive authority, The coordination of support is my representative of humanitarian support and the Islamic Council is my legitimate representative.” Political opium seems to be the common denominator among the various parties.In the case of military escalation, the practical existence of the political solution in the intensive care room and the Syrians’ failure to self-determination, it is necessary to mobilize all citizens and citizens who still adhere to their independent national decision to meet together under the umbrella of UN resolutions. To refuse to reduce the Syrian solution by a paragraph here or a single issue there, and on the role of the Syrians in self-determination, away from the axes and completely independent of all countries that intelligently work for their supreme national interests first and foremost.
