Call for action to prevent civil war in Syria

The hope for a peaceful Syria rooted in justice hangs in the balance. The UN and international governments must act now to support Syrians in their efforts to stop spiralling violence and protect the hard-won opportunity to rebuild the country after so many decades of war.

The country is on the brink of civil war and action is needed now to save lives.

In Southern Syria, armed groups have carried out killings, sniper attacks, and forced people from their homes. People are afraid and the fear is spreading across the country. Israel also attacked our cities and bombed Damascus, claiming to protect the Druze minority but in reality deepening divisions and fueling the conflict.

Syrians are calling at this moment, where there is an opportunity to build a new country, for an end to the killing, for justice and a national dialogue, that includes women, minorities and all people, so that they can hold the perpetrators of crimes — past and present — to account.

Stand with the victims, survivors, and their families. Urge the UN and world leaders to push an end to all violence, including Israeli attacks, and support a just and democratic Syria.

Call for action to prevent civil war in Syria

To the UN and world leaders

The crisis in Syria is worsening by the hour. The interim authorities have the responsibility to protect civilians and immediately launch an inclusive national dialogue. We urgently need you to support Syria by acting in six decisive ways:

Demand a meaningful and long-lasting ceasefire and a shift to inclusive political dialogue
Deploy an independent UN monitoring and documentation mission to investigate violations and report to relevant international bodies.
Ensure immediate humanitarian access to Suwayda: secure safe corridors, medical evacuations, and the delivery of essential aid including medicine, fuel, and food.
Stop arming Israel and call for an end to all of Israel’s attacks and incursion in Syria
Demand the publication of the March coastal massacre investigation and press for a transparent justice process for all past and ongoing violations.
Support and protect Syrian civil society, independent media and witnesses from online and offline harassment: particularly in their work fighting disinformation and hate speech, documenting violations and delivering aid.
