The war has already cost U.S. $ 80,000 million to Syria

The independent commission of the UN to investigate human rights violations in Syria warned that the cost of the war now stands at between 60,000 and 80,000 million. "The estimated cost to the Syrian economy conflict is between 60,000 and 80,000 million, a third of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) before the war" , said the president of the commission, the lawyer Brazilian Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, to the UN General Assembly. Pinheiro denounced Tuesday that "Syria is in free fall" and lamented that the parties continue to believe that military victory is possible. He called on the international community to act "and" and in a "decisive" to stop the "carnage". He recalled that civilians are the real victims of this war in which, he warned, crimes that "stir the conscience" has become a "terrible daily reality." The Brazilian jurist said before the plenary of the General Assembly that, apart from the millions of refugees in neighboring countries, and there are 4.5 million internally displaced , while more than 2.5 million Syrians are unemployed. Meanwhile, reported that extremist groups are "a minority" but play an "active role" in hostilities. In his experience, the "armed regional actors" have been involved in the conflict because of the "permeability" of borders. Besides the bombings and indiscriminate attacks, Pinheiro reported that one of the most "insidious" the conflict in Syria is the disappearance of "thousands of people", many of whom also suffer "torture" systematically during their captivity. In conclusion, regretted that the civil war between the forces of Bashar Al Assad and rebels has become "a chronicle of missed opportunities." He added: "There is no military solution and those supplying weapons to the parties are creating the basis for a victory. It's dangerous and irresponsible and are allowing the war to continue without end." According to the latest UN figures, have died and more than 100,000 people and nearly seven million need emergency humanitarian aid from the Syrian war began in March 2011.
