“Fadel Abdul Ghany, Director of the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), confirmed the conference’s declining rhetoric, performance, and diplomatic representation of its Western attendees.
In his talk with Enab Baladi, Abdul Ghany criticized the selection mechanism of participating organizations since the conference focuses primarily on the humanitarian aspect, yet this year organizations unrelated to this matter or connected topics participated.
Abdul Ghany did not observe a change in political support for Syria, as the political messages remained the same regarding not restoring relations with the regime, and the countries still maintain their stances on holding the regime accountable, without any advanced discourse towards a political solution in Syria.
He pointed out a decline in financial support through the Brussels conference, as the pledges do not meet the level of needs, and on the other hand, the countries may not fulfill their financial commitments at all.”
