A session to introduce civil, political and cultural rights
During the past ten years, the regime committed many violations against the Syrian people, without any regard for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was launched by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, in which Article 3 states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
Article 5 states that no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
And other articles, amounting to 30 articles, that guarantee the freedom and dignity of the citizen within his state.
However, the regime and the international community ignored all these articles with the presentation of the Syrian issue. Syrians were killed and arrested, and everyone who wanted a decent life was deserted.
