  • Oral Update of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic
    Distr.: General 18 March 2014 Original: English Human Rights Council Twenty-fifth session Agenda item 4 Human rights situations that require the Council’s attention Oral Update of the independent international commission of inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic 1 I. Introduction 1. The harrowing violence in the Syrian Arab Republic has entered its fourth year, with no signs of abating. The lives of over one hundred thousand people have been extinguished. Thousands have been the victims of torture. The indiscriminate and disproportionate shelling and aerial bombardment of civilian-inhabited areas has intensified in the last six months, as has the use of suicide and car bombs. Civilians in besieged areas have been reduced to scavenging. In this conflict’s most recent low, people, including young children, have starved to death. 2. Save for the efforts of humanitarian agencies operating inside Syria and along its borders, the international community has done little but bear witness to the plight of those caught in the maelstrom. Syrians feel abandoned and hopeless. The overwhelming imperative is for the parties, influential states and the international community to work to ensure the protection of civilians. In particular, as set out in Security Council resolution 2139, parties must lift the sieges and allow unimpeded and safe humanitarian access. 3. Compassion does not and should not suffice. A negotiated political solution, which the commission has consistently held to be the only solution to this conflict, must be pursued with renewed vigour both by the parties and by influential states. Among victims, the need for accountability is deeply-rooted in the desire for peace.

  • THE PUBLIC MONETARY AUTHORITY in NORTHWEST SYRIA Flash Report 10 July 2020 KEY DEVELOPMENTS
    THE PUBLIC MONETARY AUTHORITY IN NORTHWEST SYRIA Flash report 10 July 2020 KEY DEVELOPMENTS The Public Monetary Authority (PMA) is a rebranding of the Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS)'s General Institution for Cash Management and Customer Protection (CMCP) which was established in May 2017. The PMA imposed a mandatory registration on currency exchange and hawala companies and classified them into three main categories depending on the size of their financial capital. The PMA has the right to supervise, monitor, and inspect monetary transactions, data, records and documents of licensed companies to ensure compliance with the PMA’s regulations, during the validity period of the license, or even if the license was terminated or revoked. Licensed companies must provide the PMA with a monthly report detailing incoming and outcoming financial remittances and must maintain financial liquidity ranging from 25% to 50% of the company's financial value in US dollars at the PMA custody at all times. Financial transfers made in Turkish lira will include the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG), as the currency will be brought in from the SSG's Sham Bank. This is not the case of financial transfers made in other currencies including the US dollar. The intervention of the PMA in hawala networks has profound implications for humanitarian organizations operating in northwestern Syria, however hawala agents, particularly in medium to large agencies, can reject the PMA's monitoring and control requirements.

  • Ar-Raqqa Governorate, April 2018 OVERALL FINDINGS1
    Ar-Raqqa Governorate, April 2018 Humanitarian Situation Overview in Syria (HSOS) OVERALL FINDINGS1 Coverage Ar-Raqqa governorate is located in northeast Syria. The Euphrates River flows through the governorate TURKEY and into the Al-Thawrah Dam, the largest hydroelectric dam providing electricity in Syria, although years of Tell Abiad conflict have limited its ability to generate electricity. Since the conflict over Ar-Raqqa city ended in October AL-HASAKEH 2017, electricity services have been mostly unavailable. However, recent repairs to the Al Furosya electric ALEPPO station resulted in 72% of the assessed communities relying primarily on the electricity network in April. Ein Issa Suluk In over half of assessed communities, Key Informants (KIs) estimated that 76-100% of the pre-conflict population remained. However, 7 communities in Ar- Raqqa and Ein Issa sub-districts, reported less than 50% of pre-conflict populations remained. The majority of the assessed communities reported a presence of IDPs, approximately 90,037 IDPs in total. Most of these IDPs resided in Al-Thawra community, which has experienced two large IDP influxes in the past four months. In April, approximately 25 spontaneous Ar-Raqqa refugee returns from Lebanon and Jordan were reported in Jurneyyeh community (Ath-Thawrah district). Jurneyyeh The most commonly reported reasons for return were to reunite with family and protection concerns in host Karama communities2. Ar-Raqqa KIs reported that healthcare was one of the top priority needs in April. Reflective of this, 25 of the Al-Thawrah assessed communities reported that there were no health facilities available in the area, and only 3 of the Maadan assessed communities reported having functioning pre-conflict hospitals.

This is done through collecting, analyzing and sharing information on the humanitarian situation in Syria. To this end, the Assistance Coordination Unit through the Information Management Unit established a wide net- work of enumerators who have been recruited depending on specific criteria such as education level, association with information sources and ability to work and communicate under various conditions. IMU collects data that is difficult to reach by other active international aid actors, and pub- lishes different types of information products such as Need Assessments, Thematic Reports, Maps, Flash Reports, and Interactive Reports. 2 Field Developments in Idleb, Northern Hama Countryside, Western Situation Report and Southern Aleppo Countryside During March and April 2019 May 2019 During March and April 2019 3 Field Developments in Idleb, Northern Hama Countryside, Western and Southern Aleppo Countryside During March and April 2019 01.
