Petition to the German Bundestag

On Monday, March 30, the president of the Syrian interim government, Ahmet al-Sharaa, will be received in Berlin. Under his leadership, thousands of people have been murdered, kidnapped, and displaced in just 15 months in office.

The petition to the German Bundestag sets forth concrete demands and calls on the German government to take action.

Demands to the German government:

1.) Immediate diplomatic and political efforts to protect the civilian population in northern and eastern Syria, particularly to protect Kurdish lives, as well as massive political pressure on Damascus and Turkey for a genuine, verifiable ceasefire.

2.) Immediate coordination of the international anti-IS coalition to take political and practical action against the looming resurgence of the so-called “Islamic State.”

3.) Initiation of diplomatic talks with the Democratic Self-Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria.

4.) Advocacy for the establishment of an independent UN fact-finding mission on Syria following the fall of the Assad regime, with a particular focus on current human rights crimes.

5.) Advocacy at the EU level for the suspension of payments to the current Syrian government as long as it remains responsible for serious human rights crimes and cooperates with Islamist forces.

6.) Definitive cancellation of the visit by the Syrian president of the so-called “interim government”—which has so far only been postponed—as a clear political signal against impunity.

7.) Summoning the Turkish ambassador to make it unmistakably clear that military aggression against the AANES is not accepted.

The goal is to reach 33,000 signatures by April 9.
