We do not intend to call for the provision of independent international monitors given the risks of operating in Syria. Our focus remains on supporting the Government of Turkey's efforts to prevent a reckless military offensive by the Syrian regime. We call on Russia and Iran, as Astana Guarantors alongside Turkey, to ensure that this ceasefire is fully respected. We also call on all parties to work with UN agencies and others to ensure that the acute humanitarian needs of civilians in and around Idlib are fully addressed.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 25/03/2019 17:05:13 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
