02/05/2018 “It’s a true tragedy that Russia has sent us back to square one in the effort to end chemical weapons use in Syria. But we will not cease in our efforts to know the truth of the Assad regime and ensure that that truth is known and acted on by the international community. That is why we hosted all 15 members of this Council at the U.S. Holocaust Museum last week. The exhibit was called: ‘Syria: Please Don’t Forget Us.’ All of us saw undeniable evidence of the Assad regime’s atrocities and human rights violations. We cannot and should not forget the Syrian people. The United States will not forget them. While this Council has not yet been able to act to provide real accountability for chemical weapons use in Syria, the United States will not give up on the responsibility to do so.” – Ambassador Nikki Haley By United States Mission to the United Nations | 5 February, 2018 | Topics: Exclude, Highlights | Tags: Archive 2017-2021 Suggested for You Media Note: Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield to Visit Ecuador, Lead U.S. Delegation to Costa Rica for the Second Summit for Democracy Readout of Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield’s Meeting with Iraqi President Latif Rashid and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein
