The EU has not forgotten vulnerable Syrians and continues to directly support to the Syrian population inside Syria.
• Support for a UN-facilitated Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political solution to the conflict
• Support for the prosecution of persons responsible for crimes under International Law
• Justice for the families of the missing and the detained
• No EU funding for reconstruction without an inclusive Syrian-led political settlement
