Following the fall of the Assad regime, we continue to monitor the human rights situation closely. Accountability and protection of human rights are critical parts of a sustainable transition, and we continue to advocate for them to be part of the transitional process. As we made clear in our joint statements with G7 leaders, and following the Aqaba contact group meeting on Syria, we stand ready to support a transition process that leads to credible, inclusive and non-sectarian governance with respect for human rights.
