"Mr President, I wish to congratulate the High Representative on such a strong statement from Vilnius on the basis of such a weak consensus among Member States. If any development shows how weak our Member States are on their own and how much we now need a common policy to regain influence in the world, it is our impotence in the face of Assad’s almost certain use of chemical weapons.
Almost one hundred years after the use of poison gas on our continent we have – rightly – UN Conventions to prohibit their use. Those conventions establish the basis for action. So yes, use the UN apparatus. Yes, encourage Russia to engage. Yes, keep up your efforts for Geneva II. But no, do not leave it at that. If those avenues fail, then act. Because otherwise it will happen again and again and again, and not only in Syria."@en1
