A/HRC/18/53 when it is used to create reports addressed to states! Besides civilian and military victims, the report mentions eyewitnesses, although, the report did not support those individuals’ credibility, nor clarify whether they are real victims and eyewitnesses? or, are they taking part in the equation and the methodic spread of organized terror? In disregarding information provided by the Syrian government, the High Commission implies its reliance on information offered by organizations considered to be hostile toward Syria, which leads to weakening the state’s role and its credibility. • This also applies to videos provided by nongovernmental organizations, presented by different media in the frame of a misleading campaign against Syria, destined to incite sectarian violence among Syrian citizens. In fact, these videos represent evidence of ugly crimes carried on by armed terrorist groups, crimes of murder, rape, dismemberment, massive graves and genocides that were perpetuated against both civilians and the armed forces by terrorists. The Syrian media has shown how certain international media had spread lies and amplified what is happening in Syria, they either have presented information contrary to the truth, or shown videos of demonstrations taking place in countries other than Syria. We have sent tens of examples of these videos to the High Commission, clearly showing manipulations of that kind. • Contrary to few other states, Syria is committed to apply International Law. Syria, who takes part in most agreements and protocols related to human rights, is today declaring a series of consecutive reform measures destined to implementing a comprehensive change toward a better future of Syria, starting by the abolition of the State of Emergency Law, at a time when it is most needed, while groups of armed terrorists are surpassing all our predictions in spreading terror, violence and chaos, they, in some cases, are supported by regional and international third parties, which in itself, constitutes a blatant meddling in Syria’s internal affairs by certain states, which, in turn is a contradiction with international law, charters and conventions. In addition, Syria had put an end to the Supreme State Security Court, and proceeded to creating reform committees that had accomplished its mission in view of achieving progress and development in Syria. This effort had resulted in three legislative decrees; decree number 34 (March, 7th, 2011), a general amnesty covering all crimes except treason, espionage, terrorism and rape, decree number 61 (May, 31st, 2011) and decree number 72 (June, 20th, 2011). As a result, 10’433 detainees were released immediately, this number does not include tens of thousands of minor violations and misdemeanors whose actors benefit from these decrees, this is in addition to criminal lawsuits underway, for which the general amnesty covers half of the sentence unless a verdict is pronounced, and many other cases that fall partially under the general amnesty. We are convinced that a comprehensive national dialog is the best way to achieve development and reform in the political, legislative, social and economic areas. A presidential decree was issued on June 2nd, 2011 stipulating the creation of an official body with the mission to establish the basis of our national dialog, to describe its mechanisms and specify its timetable. Between June 10th and 12th, the national dialog committee invited intellectuals, politicians and young activists, a full spectrum of the Syrian society and its different political orientations, to participate in a dialog intended to reach a vision and produce recommendations. Participants discussed the nature of the delicate phase Syria is going through, explored future possibilities and contemplated citizens’ daily life concerns. Here are some of the recommendations issued following the meeting: 107
