The UN has devised internal guidelines for limiting cooperation with Syria until a "political transition" takes place there, and it was
drafted without any consent from the Security Council, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said.
The document in question is entitled
'Parameters and Principles of UN Assistance in Syria,' the ministry wrote in a statement to RT. It was issued by the UN Secretariat in October 2017 and provides guidelines for the UN agencies and programs in their work with the war-torn country.
The Secretariat issued the paper without requesting consent or even consulting the UN Security Council or the UN member states, at least on an official level, the ministry noted, adding that the
"guidelines" document still
"penetrates deeply" into the political situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, thus
"going beyond the issue of simple coordination between the UN structures."One particular provision of the document explicitly states that the
UN "would be ready to facilitate reconstruction" in Syria only "once there is a genuine and inclusive political transition negotiated by the parties." The Russian ministry described it as an apparent attempt to prevent the international organization from contributing to Syria's recovery under the current circumstances, while enforcing a "politicized approach of the countries advocating a regime change."
Comment: The DNC is practicing the art of recanting, on small fake claims, in order to work up to the real and important admission that Russia did not hack their system.
