"Mr President, we have just been reminded of the tragic figures; Syria is being martyred while barbarity is invited to the table of a regime clinging on to power. Bashar al-Assad no longer has any hesitation now in using children as human shields. This was established in a report published this morning by the United Nations. In the face of this, words and declarations are no longer enough.
Our diplomatic tack has clearly failed. We must go further, change tack, more than likely with an international peacekeeping force, so that all these innocent victims have not died in vain, and so that one day the Syrian regime will be put on trial for its crimes, so that the European Union admits that, at present, there is no possible compromise with the Moscow-Damascus-Tehran axis.
I join Mr Millán Mon, Commissioner, in asking: what resources do we have, how can we force its hand so that the European Union finally invests more in preventive diplomacy and brings to bear all its influence to reduce the risk of war spreading across the region – and I am thinking, obviously, about Lebanon? Ms De Keyser has already mentioned this and I share her concerns completely."@en1
