UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that the escalation of violence in Syria will not contribute to the successful outcome of the Geneva peace talks.

On 26 December, the spokesman of the UN Secretary-General said “the secretary-general is gravely concerned about escalating fighting in Syria in recent days, particularly in Aleppo, where reports indicate that civilians are among hundreds of people killed and injured.” In the statement, Mr. Ban condemned “the continued and indiscriminate use of heavy weapons and mortar shelling against areas with civilian population.” The UN Chief spoke out against the “barrel bomb” – oil drums filled with explosives and shrapnel and dropped by aircraft – campaign by Government forces in Aleppo.

The statement by the UN Secretary General against the escalation of violence in Syria comes few weeks before the start of the Geneva peace talks. The preparations are underway for the international conference in which the Syrian Government and the opposition will officially meet for the first time to discuss peace efforts. The conference will start in Montreux on 22 January 2014 and then continue in Geneva. The goal of the so-called “Geneva II” conference is to achieve a political solution to the conflict through a comprehensive agreement between the Government and the opposition for the full implementation of the Geneva communiqué, adopted on 30 June 2012.

“The secretary-general is particularly concerned that, as efforts to bring the Syrian sides to a negotiating table intensify, further escalation of violence will only serve the agendas of those who see military means as the only way forward, at the expense of the Syrian people who have suffered enough already,” Mr. Ban said in the statement. The UN Secretary General urged everyone involved in the fighting to stop the escalation of violence in Syria and focus “on a peaceful, political solution to the conflict.”
