2017 G7外長會議制裁俄或敘 沒有共識

【Comment】

It is also clear Russia has failed to uphold the agreements that had been entered into under multiple UN Security Council resolutions.  These agreements stipulated Russia as the guarantor of a Syria free of chemical weapons, that they would also locate, secure, and destroy all such armaments in Syria.

 Stockpiles and continued use demonstrate that Russia has failed in its responsibility to deliver on this 2013 commitment.  It is unclear whether Russia failed to take this obligation seriously or Russia has been incompetent, but this distinction doesn’t much matter to the dead.  We can’t let this happen again.

To be clear, our military action was a direct response to the Assad regime’s barbarism.  … To stabilize Syria we will need the G7’s direct participation helping settle the conflict in Syria...

In terms of the future of Bashar al-Assad, it is important to us that we undertake a political process that leads to the final conclusion of how Syria will be governed.

..the reign of the Assad family is coming to an end; but the question of how that ends and the transition itself could be very important..

I hope that what the Russian Government concludes is that they have aligned themselves with an unreliable partner in Bashar al-Assad.

We want to create a future for Syria that is stable and secure.  And so Russia can be a part of that future and play an important role, or Russia can maintain its alliance with this group, which we believe is not going to serve Russia’s interest longer-term.

制裁俄或敘 Ｇ７沒有共識

04/10-04/11的G7外交部長會議閉幕。意見紛歧，僅呼籲莫斯科施壓大馬士革結束六年內戰。

德國外長嘉布瑞爾（Sigmar Gabriel）：務必將俄國和伊朗納入敘國和平進程；

日本：俄國「可扮演關鍵角色」；

英國外交大臣強森：為促使莫斯科中斷對阿塞德的軍事支援，應考慮對俄國軍方實施新制裁。但並未獲得普遍支持，甚至被其他外長刻意忽略。

美國國務卿提勒森：在任何有關敘國的和平方案中，看不到阿塞德容身之處。即將轉往俄國訪問的提勒森表示，俄國將在敘利亞重建過程中擔當要角，持續與阿塞德、伊朗和真主黨（Hezbollah）結盟，並不符合莫斯科的長遠利益。

外長會議十一日並邀請土耳其、沙烏地阿拉伯、阿拉伯聯合大公國（ＵＡＥ）、約旦及卡達等「有志一同」反阿塞德國家的外交官員，在場邊與G7成員國共同討論敘國問題。

美國將追究「所有對全球各地無辜者犯罪的人」之責任，讓國際社會對避談人權的川普政府將展現積極作為出現新的期待。（自由20170412）
