"Mr President, we continue to stand by powerlessly as a people is massacred by murderers in the pay of a regime that is cornered, has no future, and insists on keeping a grip on power at the expense of the blood of its own citizens. This situation is untenable and intolerable. Legally and institutionally, al-Assad is responsible, but is that really the case? In the end, who is in charge in Syria? Is it him or is it his father’s entourage? Is he here lying to his people too? To make the situation even more tragic, the strange patchwork comprising the opposition does not suggest that the al-Assad era will be followed by a solution that is simultaneously democratic, tolerant and representative of Syria’s various religious, ethnic, social and cultural realities. A solution will also be impossible without a vehement repudiation of some of the forms of struggle used by the opposition in this fratricidal and irrational war that brings into conflict dark forms of idealism mixed with genuine cries for freedom from a regime fighting solely for its survival. They should also know that war crimes will not be tolerated. Once again, High Representative, the EU is demonstrating its sensitivity to the tragedy of the more than 250 000 refugees in neighbouring countries, as the largest donor of humanitarian aid. I hope it is being correctly channelled. I should like to get something off my chest, however: the international community has been acting so hypocritically that it is just discrediting itself. I am one of those who refuse to accept that a Syrian life is not worth the same as any other life."@en1
