"We are voting against this resolution.
We can only watch as Syria finds itself at a serious impasse. The fate of the Syrian people at the hands of Bashar al-Assad’s regime and this ferocious repression are horrifying. We condemn this regime and its policies. All the same, we must find another route than that presented to us in this resolution.
In fact, paragraphs 15 and 18 are part of the strategy recently set out by the Arab League for sending a ‘force’ to Syria. Sending in such a force without the agreement of all those involved, particularly the Syrian authorities, is impossible without military intervention.
However, the Syrian Government, like the democrats and progressives in this country, have rejected this proposal. By repeating this in more ambiguous terms, Parliament would be supporting a highly dangerous political and military escalation.
Indeed, it takes us back to the situation of some weeks ago, when France had already proposed humanitarian corridors and Turkey a no-fly zone. Once again, it all comes down to pressure for military intervention, an implicit pressure expressed in a language which conceals the risks of all-out civil war in the country and of foreign occupation."@en1
