". Mr President, the European Union has finally imposed sanctions on Syria. Unfortunately, however, it appears to have done so with some trepidation, taking care to avoid calling the head of the Syrian regime into question. This lack of determination and clarity is obviously interpreted by the demonstrators as a form of abandonment and by the authorities as an indulgence enabling them to step up their repression, a repression so cruel that it is unimaginable that Syria may be elected to sit on the UN’s Human Rights Council when the country’s authorities are right now refusing UN observers access to the city of Deraa, the scene of terrible violence against unarmed civilians. Having Syria on the Human Rights Council would be an insult to the victims and their families, and an encouragement for that regime to use brute force against its own people, with complete disregard for the values that the Human Rights Council is supposed to uphold. So, Baroness Ashton, what diplomatic options do you have in mind in order to avoid such a disaster?"@en1
