Ahead of #GenevaII, representatives of #WCC member churches and the #HolySee call for a just peace in #Syria. Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations-Arab League joint representative for Syria, met with the group and affirmed the role of the churches to “mobilize international opinion, to condemn all that is bad in this situation and to support all that is good now.” Brahimi will deliver a message to the Geneva II talks stating that there needs to be “immediate cessation of all armed confrontation and hostility within Syria”, thus ensuring that “all vulnerable communities in Syria and refugees in neighbouring countries receive appropriate humanitarian assistance” and that “a comprehensive and inclusive process toward establishing a just peace and rebuilding Syria” should be developed. © Peter Williams/WCC
