New York, SANA\u00a0 Syria had in vain sought to draw attention of the international\u00a0 community on the recruitment of Syrian children in areas controlled by armed terrorist\u00a0 organizations, particularly the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Jabhat al-Nusra,\u00a0\u00a0 Islamic Front, Army of Islam,\u00a0 the Free Army and other armed groups that utilized\u00a0 children aged 5 to 15 years after having brainwashed them, prepared them to conduct\u00a0 Fatwas and become bearded criminals,\u00a0 Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN Dr.\u00a0 Bashar al-Jaafari said Wednesday .<\/p>\n
Al-Jaafari, during a Security Council session on Children and Armed Conflict, called\u00a0 for putting an end to policies of the states that have sponsored, financed, armed and\u00a0 trained terrorists through adopting efficient\u00a0measures to hold the governments of these\u00a0 states accountable,\u00a0 and implement the UNSC related resolutions to fighting terrorism.<\/p>\n
The armed terrorist organizations, during the past four years of the crisis in Syria,\u00a0 sought to deprive children from their childhood in an attempt to create an extremist\u00a0 environment, rich with takfiri and hatred sources al-Jaafari said.<\/p>\n
In Syria, and at the (refugees) camps in the neighboring countries, recruitment of\u00a0 Syrian children have varied and acquired unprecedented bloody forms that get even children aged 4 years, Dr.al-Jaafari went on to say.<\/p>\n
The armed terrorist organizations deprived children from education and substituted it\u00a0 with terrorist education, therefore these organizations stopped education in several\u00a0 areas until the governmental curriculum have been amended to go in line with the\u00a0 religious rules,\u00a0\u00a0 as UNICEF mentioned he said,\u00a0adding that more than 670,000 Syrian\u00a0 students had been deprived\u00a0 from education.<\/p>\n
The Syrian Senior Diplomat pointed out that these terrorist organizations turned schools\u00a0 and hospitals into prisons, barracks and execution centers, asserting that since the\u00a0 beginning of the current year,\u00a0 85 children were killed and 224 others were injured.<\/p>\n
Al-Jaafari said that since the beginning of the crisis in the country, Syria has taken\u00a0 several measures, to enhance children protection, including all legal measures which\u00a0 prevent recruiting them in fighting operations, noting that the Syrian government issued\u00a0 a legislative decree on May 6th, 2013 for this\u00a0purpose.<\/p>\n
Al-Jaafari affirmed that in spite of the huge efforts exerted by the Syrian government\u00a0 to protect and immunize children against such devastating Wahhabi ignorant thought, it\u00a0 is known that tackling this sort of crimes can’t be done except through uprooting it\u00a0 collectively and honestly.<\/p>\n
He called for stopping the policies of the countries that support terrorism\u00a0 financially and militarily, taking active measures to hold these governments accountable,\u00a0 implementing the relevant UN Security Council\u00a0resolutions the latest of which \/2199\/ and to \u00a0helping Syrian government to rehabilitate the children victims of such\u00a0 recruitment.<\/p>\n
Al-Jaafari clarified that recruiting children, from other states, by armed organizations\u00a0 has become an international issue which requires finding solutions by uprooting\u00a0 organized terrorism that spread in many countries including Syria, Iraq, Nigeria,\u00a0 Central African Republic, Mali and Columbia, indicating that such terrorism is what the\u00a0 governments of those countries try to uproot every day, including Syrian government.<\/p>\n
