26 February 2018

The latest United Nations Security Council Resolution on Syria calling for a thirty day cessation of hostilities was “dead on arrival.”  The Syrian regime did not pause in its bombardment of eastern Ghouta and still it is making no attempt to adhere to the terms of the resolution.  It exposes once again its contempt for international law and the disgraceful manner in which Russia continues to protect its ally from any accountability for its actions.

Several of Caabu's Parliamentary delegates spoke in a Westminster Hall debate on the military detention of Palestinian children by Israeli authorities on 7 February 2018.
