SOS for Rojava: International Protection Sought for Kurds and Minorities

The Kurdistan Cultural Center “Theophilos” has appealed to the UN and the international community for immediate protection of Kurds and other minorities in northern and northeastern Syria (Rojava) due to attacks on civilians and infrastructure. They call for an immediate cessation of attacks and full compliance with international humanitarian law by the Syrian Arab Army. In addition, they propose the creation of an urgent UN mechanism to record violations and provide early warning, as well as the creation of a safe zone to protect Kurds and other minorities at risk, such as Druze, Yazidi, Christian and Alawite communities.
