Syria denounces US sanctions to the UN: they are unilateral and illegal

Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations has warned that the "illegitimate and inhumane" sanctions imposed by the United States and its Western allies they are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in your country. Bassam al-Sabbagh made the remarks during a session of the United Nations Security Council on "The purpose and principles of the United Nations Charter in the maintenance of international peace and security and effective pluralism through the defense of the principles of the United Nations Charter Unite" Monday in New York. “Syria's national wealth and resources are being plundered by foreign forces, who are illegitimately present on our soil,” Sabbagh said. "The humanitarian crisis in Syria is worsening due to unilateral, illegitimate, inhuman and immoral sanctions inflicted on ordinary people," he added. The Syrian envoy warned that the bans continue to affect all aspects of ordinary people's lives and have left large numbers of people homeless and internally displaced in flagrant violation of the principles and objectives of the UN Charter.
