"The political situation being experienced in Syria is scandalising the international community, which is an impotent onlooker to the butchering of the Syrian people that has been going on for more than 11 months and has resulted in over 5 000 deaths. Parliament has not been indifferent, having condemned the bloody repression ordered by President Bashar al-Assad on a number of occasions. However, the sanctions approved by this House, by the Arab League and by the UN Security Council have had no effect. The vetoes by Russia and China that prevented more drastic action against the Syrian regime are regrettable. The Syrian opposition needs international help in order to achieve regime change, establish democracy and bring those responsible for human rights violations to justice. I voted for this joint motion for a resolution, tabled to replace the proposals of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance and the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe. This is because, in addition to condemning the veto by Russia and China in the Security Council, it calls for an end to atrocities against the Syrian people and for the creation of a humanitarian corridor enabling aid for all Syrians, who are suffering greatly."@en1
