"I add my voice to that of my fellow Members who have signed the joint resolution on Syria, in calling on the international community to intervene to try and stop the massacre that we can see from the media is taking place on a daily basis. Since the unrest first began in March 2011, almost 20 000 people have died, many of whom were defenceless women and children targeted in attacks organised by the men of President Assad’s regime. The number of refugees is even higher. Hundreds of people are continuing to flow into neighbouring countries, creating instability in areas of the world which are already very politically unstable. In addition, in Syria, around 3 million people need urgent aid, because the Syrian Government has cut their access to food, water and medicines. I am sorry to have to acknowledge that so far, the United Nations has been unable to satisfactorily manage the situation, which seems to be getting more and more out of hand every day, leading to the resignation of Kofi Annan. The Syrian regime has at this point lost all credibility and legitimacy in its role as representative of the Syrian people, and it is to be hoped that President Assad will step down."@en1
