"The conflict in Syria has been going on for 15 months now, and the number of those killed from the beginning of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad is now over 14 000. The government in Damascus is still using violence against its own people, who should be the top priority in any system and in any country. The present situation has even been compared to a civil war, in which the parties are, on the one hand, the country and, on the other, a regime that is using ever newer methods in its fight against the opposition, struggling to maintain its grip on power at all costs.
Moreover, despite the efforts of the international community, this conflict has not yet been resolved, which could significantly weaken the impact of this type of peaceful intervention. Yet NATO is not planning any military solutions; instead, it emphasises that priority must be given to political approaches. What is needed is to reach agreement within the United Nations and to develop a joint plan of action that could stop blood from being spilt and bring Syria out of the paralysing chaos in which it finds itself. The Syrian nation wants to follow a democratic path, as proven by its determination and sacrifices. The assistance provided by the international community should, however, be more decisive and more forceful calls should be made for concrete action."@en1
