    Syrian Crisis United Nations Response A Weekly Update from the UN Department of Public Information No. 140/ 30 March 2016 Secretary-General appeals for greater global solidarity with Syrian refugees Speaking at a UNHCR conference on Syrian refugees on 30 March in Geneva, the Secretary-General called for an “exponential increase in global solidarity”. “Today, I ask that countries act with solidarity, in the name of our shared humanity, by pledging new and additional pathways for the admission of Syrian refugees. These pathways can include resettlement or humanitarian admission, family reunions, as well as labour or study opportunities”, Mr. Ban said. UNHCR is trying to get at least 480,000 Syrian refugees to resettle or find another form of admission in a third country. “The world must step up, with concrete actions and pledges. All countries can do more,” the Secretary-General stressed. http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=9572 Humanitarian situation remains dire in many besieged areas, warns UN Emergency Relief Coordinator UN humanitarian chief Stephen O’Brien told the Security Council on 30 March that while there has been recent progress on humanitarian access, the UN continues to face daily obstacles to reach those in need across Syria. ”Many of the 4.6 million people in need in besieged and hard-to-reach areas still remain outside our reach due to insecurity and obstructions by the parties. Even where we receive responses, these are often not approved”, Mr. O’Brien said. “In 2016 so far, we have only reached some 30 per cent of people in besieged areas and less than 10 per cent of people in hard-to-reach areas”, he added, stressing that the humanitarian situation in many of those areas remains critical.

The fast growth and maturity of civil society organizations gave them the opportunity to occupy a formal space in the ongoing peace talks in Geneva. The presence of the Women’s Advisory Board, the Civil Society Support Room, and the recently established Experts Room during the peace talks in the Palais de Nations allows them to influence the negotiation process. This article is the first published documentation of the role of civil society in the peace process and the challenges that face these talks.

  • A Process in Its Own Right: the Syrian Civil Society Support Room
    A process in its own right: the Syrian Civil Society Support Room Dr Rim Turkmani and Marika Theros 16 June 2019 2 A process in its own right About the Conflict Research Programme at LSE The Conflict Research Programme aims to understand why contemporary violence is so difficult to end and to analyse the underlying political economy of violence with a view to informing policy. Our research sites are Iraq, Syria, South Sudan, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Syria Conflict Research Programme focuses on five interrelated research topics. The function and legitimacy of public authority, identity politics, economic drivers of the conflict, civicness and reconstruction. The programme uses a mixed methodology using primary and secondary sources. The programme collaborates with the Middle East based Governance and Development Research Centre. This research was funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID); however the views expressed do not necessarily reflect the UK government’s official positions or policies.

  • Sieges and Ceasefires in Syria's Civil War. Lessons Learned As Regional
    Introduction Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs Comments Sieges and Ceasefires in Syria’s Civil War WP Lessons Learned as Regional Players Undermine New Approach by UN Mediator Khaled Yacoub Oweis S Representatives of the Group of Friends of the Syrian People, an international alliance that nominally supports the Syrian opposition, met in Berlin in March 2015 on the fourth anniversary of the Syrian revolt. Participants in the meeting discussed ways to revive the mission of UN mediator Staffan de Mistura, whose efforts for achieving a ceasefire in Aleppo – Syria’s former commercial and industrial hub – have gone nowhere. Ger- many has been particularly supportive of de Mistura. But the main players in Syria and their regional supporters have shown little willingness to curb the violence, as the con- flict, together with Yemen, is at the heart of what is increasingly perceived as a Sunni- Shia schism. Germany is committed to finding a political solution in Syria that addresses the regional dimension of the conflict. But this is unlikely to happen without a thaw between Iran and Saudi Arabia that would allow for tackling sticky political issues behind the religious rhetoric. Mounting tensions between Arab Gulf coun- at establishing ceasefires and “freeze zones” tries and Iran have hardened the positions in certain areas, starting in the northern of the main players in Syria, thus lessening city of Aleppo. The Aleppo effort was to dif- their willingness to negotiate a solution to fer from previous ceasefires, which were the conflict and undermining the mission reached mostly with little UN involvement, of Staffan de Mistura, the Special UN envoy.

The discussion will feed into the preparation of comprehensive EU regional strategy. Ministers exchanged views on the crisis in Syria with the UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura. The EU is fully committed to supporting his efforts to achieve a strategic de-escalation of violence as a basis for a broader political process. The EU stands ready to provide concrete support for the development of his proposal to build on local freezes of hostility in Aleppo and elsewhere. The High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, said: "All the EU member states and the European Union as such are, in one way or another, involved in the fight against Da'esh. All of us are very much working on the support of the Iraqi government." She added that she would travel to Bagdad and Erbil next week. Bosnia and Herzegovina The Council agreed a renewed approach to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), without changing the EU accession conditions, including the implementation of the Sejdic-Finci ruling.

Speaking at a press stake out in Geneva on 3 February, the Envoy said that he had decided to bring a temporary pause and had fixed the date of 25 February for the next talks. “I have indicated that I am not prepared to hold talks for the sake of talks and the Secretary-General has said the same,” Mr. de Mistura stated, noting that more work needed to be done by the stakeholders. “I find that this stage is very important to give an opportunity to those who have been insisting that the talks take place that they also address the issues which have been pending and unresolved,” he added. http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=4356 The indirect talks convened by UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura started in Geneva on 29 January with a view to ending the five-year conflict. The Envoy began with a meeting with a delegation of the Government led by the Permanent Representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to the UN, Bashar al-Ja’afari. This was followed on 31 January by a meeting with the delegation of the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) following their arrival in Geneva. At a press conference on 1 February, Mr. de Mistura noted that the Syrian people expected a tangible outcome from the talks.
