Venezuela states it is important to act on reducing arms shipments into Syria. "No terrorist is a benevolence." He asks the small arms treaty be viewed as vital to the resolve to a ceasefire. Venezuela condemn the attacks in the strongest understanding possible. 2.3 children are to receive vaccines and having access to provide assistance is important. Explosive car bombs are a problem from ISIS/Daesh. Summary executions are another measure to crimes against humanity. Negotiations with Bashar Assad is ongoing in Geneva and Venezuela is monitoring this meeting. History will judge those responsible for this atrocity.
...As far as international law goes, (click here) Western states’ unilateral or joint military action in Syria could be legalised on three grounds: a UN Security Council resolution (but that would be vetoed by Russia and China); invitation by Assad (but, unlike with Russia, that has not been forthcoming); or in defence of another state. The US and UK have invoked Iraq’s request for military assistance to justify their intervention in both Iraq and Syria. But, because Isis is not recognised as a state, this ground is problematic. In 2005, the International Court of Justice found Uganda’s intervention in the Democratic Republic of Congo against anti-Ugandan rebels to be illegal – it would have been legal only if the DRC had backed the rebels, but they were among a plethora of anti-government militias active in eastern Congo. Clearly, Assad is not backing Isis. Sovereign states’ title to strike against non-state militias outside their jurisdiction on self-defence grounds remains to be established....

Malaysia states women and girls are used as sex slaves, bought and sold as a means of economy. Women are given to foreign fighters when they come to the country.
Nigeria states the delivery of humanitarian aid is extremely difficult because of the conflict.
In listening to the testimony I am more convinced every country in the world needs to find alliances that will protect them from any influence of Daesh. Smaller countries would be more vulnerable to attacks. I would encourage every country on Earth to find alliances that will work to protect their sovereignty should the national forces fail to be capable of defeating militants affiliated by Daesh. Some countries would be challenged to end the violence of terrorists in a way as France did.
When countries are sincerely united in a struggle to protect civilization there is every reason to secure allies.
Chad endorses the Geneva Communique.

Chile is concerned for the children of Syria. Chile extends it's condolences to the people of Paris and France. The attacks were completely indefensible and all those involved needs to be brought to justice. It is difficult to remain indifferent to the attacks in France and to the victims in Syria. The gender/sexual violence used as a weapon of war is resolved to action by a UN resolution already existing.

France states the enemy is Daesh. It is driven by hate. It is destroying cultural heritage of people and this is a loss to every country on Earth. President Hollande has called for a resolve among the countries of the world with a determination to end such a mission of hatred. The countries of regions have to unite to achieve concrete progress for humanitarian issues. The circumstances on the ground are deteriorating quickly. It is never been more important to help the countries surrounding Syria. Daesh is responsible for a great movement of refugees. The determination of France is absolute.
Syrian Arab Republic - "There is an elephant in the room." There is a huge visible issue that some members are not willing to address as the trouble. There are several areas in Syria with a scourge. The scourge of terrorism was unleashed into areas in the region. There have been attacks around the world. There are members that have prevented the UN Security Council from addressing the attacks on innocent people in Syria. This did not happen by chance or in a vacuum. It is the certain attempt of parties that caused this. Terrorism is a gigantic atrocities upon the world. Some parties called terrorists as reasonable when it comes to Syria. Would you commit these crimes against your own people? Every time Syria kills a foreign terrorist it is protecting lives. Syria will cooperate with any country that will combat terrorism. That effort has been found with Russia. We cooperated with Mister Kofi Annan and his six point plan....have cooperated with every effort that sincerely was to combat terrorism. The Syrian government has not used any indiscriminate weapons. The weapons were according to international law. The humanitarian crisis of our women and children are well known. Mr. O'Brien's visit next month is welcome.
Meeting adjourned.
