(2551) Ratifica ed esecuzione dell'Accordo di cooperazione culturale tra il Governo della Repubblica italiana e il Governo della Repubblica Araba Siriana fatto a Roma l'11 settembre 2008 (Approvato dalla Camera dei deputati) (Relazione orale) (ore 9,50)
PERDUCA (PD) . Signora Presidente, intervengo principalmente per illustrare l'ordine del giorno G1, da me presentato insieme alla senatrice Poretti.
È stato ricordato che questo accordo va ad aggiornare quanto stipulato 40 anni fa, addirittura due anni prima della guerra dello Yom Kippur. Questo è a completely different world but, unfortunately, is not necessarily a different regime in Syria, which, remember, is an Arab Republic, which is defined and its adjectives already in this, somehow, highlights some problems that were then articulated with the passage of time.
These problems are layered with the passing years, but start since the sixties, when she was given a sort of martial law or otherwise, a series of-emergency laws that protect themselves under any kind of freedom.
Now, as our treaty that wants to expand and strengthen cultural cooperation, I believe we must porre una serie di paletti e comunque sicuramente evidenziare alcune caratteristiche di questo regime. È sicuramente fondamentale aiutare Paesi che fanno del loro meglio (e va detto che la Siria, malgrado la popolazione non goda necessariamente, né di libertà, né di pieni diritti economici e sociali, sicuramente non è tra i Paesi più poveri al mondo) per preservare un patrimonio culturale che appartiene a tutta l'umanità poiché conserva parti importanti di culture non soltanto mediorientali ma anche fondative della nostra comunità euromediterranea in senso ampio.
L'Accordo, che devo dire in esordio è fatto molto meglio di tanti altri che abbiamo ratificato in passato, non per ultimo because Article 16 provides for how to report the same thing the other hand, for example, was not the case with the bilateral agreement between Italy and Libya, speaks of cultural cooperation and, in addition to the field of archeology and art, called for the strengthening of cooperation between universities and between the national archives of both countries and even come to hope for a strengthening of cooperation in audiovisual, and documentary films and cultural exchange between the national television.
now, Syria is a country, we said, has an emergency-the 1963 law that touches with great violence and systematic way the freedom of expression, so much so that Journalists have been imprisoned at least a bold criticism of the government, not only through traditional media but also through blog. Journalists who have undergone major complaints then were not necessarily in the country and who have had to say not only on the Syrian political attitudes at the national level but also on the involvement of Syria in regional affairs.
are two countries that come to mind when talking about the Syrian presence in that part of the world: on the one hand there is certainly the occupation, including military, Syria against Lebanon, which ceased a few years ago and not because it was freely scelto da Damasco di ritirarsi ma perché, a seguito dell'omicidio del Premier libanese e degli interventi e delle insistenze della comunità internazionale (Francia, Regno Unito e Stati Uniti in primis ) e poi dell'apertura delle indagini per la ricerca dei responsabili dell'omicidio di Rafik Hariri, la Siria ha deciso di diminuire (perché credo non si possa oggi certificare la totale assenza di militari siriani dal Libano) la propria presenza nel Paese vicino.
L'altra grande alleanza storica che credo preoccupi tutti coloro i quali hanno a cuore, oltre la stabilità anche la pace e la libertà del Medioriente, è quella con il regime di Teheran, che da sempre Syria uses to extend its tentacles to the Mediterranean and is also "invaded" from an economic standpoint, therefore, that more than cultural, but a Sunni majority country ruled by a Shiite minority. Amnesty International reminds us, for example, that the way in which justice is administered is totally out of international fees, because torture is practiced for a variety of crimes including, I repeat, there is also freedom of expression .
There are very big problems for minorities, for example, the Kurds, but just as many problems affecting the Palestinian minority that has taken refuge in the country of Syria, the women themselves do not have the same rights that are granted to men.
refugees fleeing from Iraq or Iran, even if they are Arabs (for example, the Iranian Ahwazi those fleeing persecution and that the Italian Senate has been able to audit in May last year at the Commission extraordinary for the protection and promotion of human rights), enjoy a treatment that goes beyond what we, at times, we reserve the so-called illegal immigrants are at high risk of deportation or refoulement.
are then provided, alas (and this I think it must always be borne in mind when it comes to relations between Italy, a country known worldwide for have also promoted by the Radical Party and the association "Cain" a moratorium on executions, and other countries), death sentences for a number of various crimes (in this respect, I do that on page 3 there is a misprint because Syria does not apply the penalty of "a thousand" but of "death"), including drug trafficking to possession of which is even predicted a life sentence.
The minimum age for imposing the death penalty is fixed at 18 years the maximum age is not defined by law but have never been cases of people sentenced to death over 60 years.
On two occasions, in December 2008 and December 2010, but Syria, that just continues to apply the death penalty, voted against the resolution in favor of the Italian suspension of executions worldwide.
Given the premise on which it is written that "given the need to pursue diplomatic and trade relations with regimes that deviate from the practice of democracy on which the international community has given formal authorization for clear denunciation of the systematic violation of fundamental rights "(in this regard, I note that Parliament has blocked and continues to keep locked, the framework agreement with Syria because of problems with human rights), the Senate considers it important to subject 'These relations with the international obligations arising from having to Italy ratified all international instruments on human rights. " One principle that I believe this should remain head of our international policy.
It therefore calls on the Government to make a commitment "to support any hint of a commitment announced in political and economic reforms, and encourage the emergence of such a position at European level in order to improve its credibility towards the 'regional and international integration, with particular attention to the voices of those who, institutionally, is not participating in decision-making preclusogli by an undemocratic regime, to promote and support every action, European and international level, aimed at ensuring that Syria has a moratorium on executions and then initiate a thorough review of the Penal Code, making it accessible not only by official entities of the United Nations also by an independent party, the administration system of justice, to monitor the recurrent episodes of discrimination faced by ethnic and religious minorities and indigenous is that they are present, for various reasons, Syria, and therefore to take steps to promote respect for the prerogatives of traditional and cultural minorities in addition to those Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and the cases of denial of justice gathered from numerous international organizations human rights.
