Genocide of Alawites: Current appeals to the UN!

Genocide of Alawites: Current appeals to the UN!

A dramatic call for immediate intervention has shocked the international community: The Turkish Cultural Community in Austria (TKG Think Tank) has sent an urgent petition to the United Nations to end the brutal attacks on the Syrian Arab Alawites. In its letter, published on December 30, 2024, the TKG describes the horrific massacres this community is suffering under pressure from radical groups such as the Islamic State and Al Nusra. These machinations have now been reinforced by an 18-page petition sent to the UN headquarters in New York on January 28, 2025, with ample evidence of the atrocities carried out, such as APA OTS reported.

Massacre and genocide

The Alawites argue that the systematic attacks on their community clearly constitute serious violations of international law, especially since they have been targeted since the HTS government took over. Supported by several non-governmental organizations in Europe, the petition calls for the recognition of this violence as a humanitarian crisis and calls for immediate action to prevent genocide and the creation of humanitarian corridors. This action not only highlights the plight of the Alawites in Syria, but also calls on the EU to act, according to information from the European Parliament emerges. There, the right of citizens to submit petitions is emphasized as a fundamental right, which offers the opportunity to raise concerns directly with parliamentarians and thus draw attention to important issues.

The UN and EU are now under pressure to respond to these dramatic calls and take action to end the ongoing attacks on the Alawites and other minorities in Syria. Without swift action, the situation could become even more catastrophic, while the voices of those being persecuted continue to clamor for justice.
