 The National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party today issued a statement calling on UNASUR to solve the conflict in Syria through negotiations and the ceasefire.In addition, it insists that Uruguay take the initiative so that the Unasur is part of the process of pacifier..."Latin American organizations and their main countries have obligation to mediate in the conflict to achieve peace and the observance of human rights," says the PS. In addition, asks the international community to mediate to achieve "stability in the country and the region" and democratize the  "political system" as they were the popular demands at the start of the demonstrations in favor of democracy and freedom."Those responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria must answer for their criminal acts to international justice," said the statement, referring to the attack that a few days ago left hundreds of civilians dead of which most were children.On the other hand,it was critical to outside intervention that has fueled the conflict, stating that "the war has deepened, has been counterproductive," violating the sovereignty of the Republic of Syria."Multinational corporations and their political representatives always find ways to take advantages of the wars and to protect its privileges", accuse the Socialists.
