France applauds the UN Security Council's December 17th press statement on the situation in Syria.
France spearheaded this unanimous statement on Syria, the first in several years.
In it, the Security Council reiterates its call for the establishment of a Syrian-led political process facilitated by the UN and based on the key principles listed in UN Security Council Resolution 2254. The statement expresses support for efforts backing this process. The Council members also reaffirm their commitment to Syria's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and to the fight against terrorism and the respect for human rights and international humanitarian law, as well as their support for the United Nations Disengagement Force (UNDOF).
