"Member states are following very carefully what will be happening on the ground, but I do believe that if what has been said in public is actually being implemented in practice, yes, then I think we can see the delisting and the end of sanctions." UN envoy Geir Pedersen emphasized the importance of Syria's new leaders keeping their promises on human rights. He also expressed concern about Israel's actions in the Golan Heights and called for them to stop immediately. Additionally, Mr. Pedersen highlighted the need for stability in northern Syria and for the safe return of refugees and internally displaced persons.
