世界大國推動敘利亞停火及人道救援大綱

The five-year-old war in Syria is the focus of diplomats Tuesday in Vienna where the 17-nation International Syria Support Group (ISSG) is meeting to discuss stalled political talks, difficulties in maintaining a cease-fire deal and uneven U.N. results in delivering humanitarian aid.

The cease-fire, which went into effect at the end of February, brought a dramatic drop in overall violence in Syria, but that progress has slowly eroded.

“Today is about creating the conditions to better comply with the cease-fire,” said German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, heading into talks. He said another goal would be improving conditions on the ground in Syria so that the opposition would be more inclined to participate in political talks.

The United States and Russia are trying to use their influence to convince competing sides to stand by the agreement as they also try to support peace talks that have so far made little progress.

Both countries are part of the ISSG. But while Russia has backed the Syrian regime, the U.S. has been supporting the moderate opposition.國際支持敘利亞小組17個成員國的外交官星期二在維也納圍繞敘利亞五年內戰舉行會談，重點討論陷於僵局的政治談判、難以實施的停火協議以及聯合國運送人道救援物資行動中存在的問題。

敘利亞停火於2月底開始實施後，總體暴力水平大幅下降，但停火狀態正逐漸遭到破壞。

德國外長施泰因邁爾在會談開始前表示，會談的目的是爲更好地實施停火創造條件，以及改善敘利亞境內局面，讓敘利亞反對派更願意參與政治談判。

美國和俄羅斯試圖利用其影響力敦促敘利亞衝突各方遵守停火協議，同時推動和平談判，但迄今進展甚微。

美俄兩國都是國際支持敘利亞小組的成員國，但俄羅斯支持敘利亞政權，而美國則支持持溫和立場的敘利亞反對派。
