Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  It's the same situation in South Damascus, but there is no bombing at the same level as in eastern Ghouta. The al Qadam, Yelda, Tadamon, and Yarmouk camps are also under siege at the same time, in the same situation, but the level of the bombing is not the same.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  If the resolution is totally implemented, we will see a situation that is stable, but if there are no guarantees for civilians....

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Good morning. Thank you for this invitation. We are addressing Canada's role in stopping this massacre in Syria.
