The Syrian Canadian Council expresses its concern regarding the rising sectarian tensions and the targeting of innocent civilians in Syria. The continuation of violence and revenge only exacerbates human suffering and increases the instability of the country. The council reaffirms its commitment to democratic values and human rights.

We call on all parties to respect international law and prioritize the protection of civilians. Sectarianism and actions that entrench division threaten the social fabric of Syria—unity and diversity are essential components for achieving lasting peace.

The Syrian Canadian Council urges all parties to engage in dialogue, commit to de-escalation, and defend human dignity as necessary foundations for a safer and more just future for all Syrians.
