Syria Civil Defence ‘White Helmets’ call for No-Fly Zone following chemical attack

 

Protest called for Sunday 22nd March, 2-4pm, US Embassy London, in response to the latest chemical attacks by Assad’s air force.

These attacks violate three UN Security Council resolutions: UNSCR 2118 and UNSCR 2209 on chemical weapons in Syria, and UNSCR 2139 which demanded an end to barrel bomb attacks on civilian-populated areas.

The attacks in Idlib came just ten days after the Security Council adopted resolution 2209 (2015), which notes that “the use of toxic chemicals as a weapon would constitute a violation of resolution 2118” and decides that “in the event of future non-compliance with resolution 2118” the Security Council will “impose measures under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.”

Following the 16 March attacks, Syria Civil Defence, also known as the White Helmets, have called for the imposition of a no-fly zone in Syria to stop further air attacks on civilians by the Assad regime.You can sign a petition in support on their website, www.whitehelmets.org.
