Syria has complained to the United Nations (UN) about several officials who, it claims, entered the country without visas in violation of its sovereignty.
These include Republican Senator John McCain, former French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and former U.S. diplomat Peter Galbraith, according to Reuters.
Syria's UN ambassador, Bashar Ja'afari, called on UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the 15-member Security Council to pressure governments to take "the necessary measures against their nationals who enter Syrian territory illegally."
"Such actions are a blatant violation of Syria's sovereignty and of the resolutions of the Security Council concerning Syria," Ja'afari wrote in a letter dated Dec. 30 and seen by Reuters on Monday.
He complained generally about "certain journalists and prominent figures" entering Syria illegally but singled out McCain for entering Syria in June 2013. McCain visited Syria in May 2013 and met with some Syrian rebels, his spokesman said at the time.
Ja'afari also cited Kouchner for visiting in November 2014, Galbraith for traveling to Syria in December 2014 with other U.S. political and military leaders, and former Kuwaiti politician Walid al-Tabtaba'i for entering Syria in September 2013.
McCain, been a vocal opponent of President Barack Obama's Syrian policy, has in the past repeatedly called for his country to take action in the civil war in Syria, saying that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will make no effort to end the country’s civil war as long as he is winning on the battle field.

Sounds like their border control is about as good as ours.
Dont feel left out Syria. He’s doing the same to us.....
Screw you, Assad! McCain had ISIS issued visas.
Oh this is so bad. We may have to turn McCain over to
the UN to be tried at the The Hague like they did
with Slobodan Milosevic. Will they kill him as well?
During the Vietnam War, then Lt. McCain entered North Vietnam without a visa. And spent 4 years in the Hanoi Hilton.
Vice Admiral John McCain (RET. USN) has more than earned the right to go whereever he wants. With or without a visa.
“Vice Admiral John McCain (RET. USN) has more than earned the right”
And has been most abusive of it. Reminds me of bubbleboy
on Seinfeld where the tard uses his disability to act
like an absolute ass. McCain is not alone, Kerry does the
same thing. No excuse.
