Shia Rights Watch Calls to Spare Syrian Civilians

Shia Rights Watch calls all sides in Syria to avoid and spare unarmed civilians from the ongoing bloody conflict and to show more commitment to the laws of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Geneva Convention.
SRW also stresses that these laws have granted the protection of the life of civilian persons in time of war and moreover criminalize those who target civilians’ dignity, life, security or who torture them and cause them physical and spiritual harm, or who arrest them as hostages.
Shia Rights Watch also alarms that legal and jurisprudential cases will be suited against those found guilty in attacking civilians and violating their human rights, especially since the laws of the Geneva Convention do not abandon the right of chasing criminals over time.
The organization calls for the respect to rights of religious, sectarian and ethnic minorities and to stop attacking them under any proclaims or reasons.
