"Mr President, what the European Union and the international community have done, or rather not done, about the situation in Syria is totally contrary to a citizen’s sense of justice. With Syria, it is obvious what must happen: the slaying of innocent people must stop, and those guilty of crimes must be brought to justice. International actors should be allowed access to the country, so that reliable information on the situation there can be obtained.
The European Union’s toothless reluctance to intervene in the serious breaches of human rights in its neighbouring countries is still a regrettable fact. We continue to debate the same basic question, which split opinion over Libya: how to intervene in a situation where the state is perpetrating violence against its own people? I wonder if, with Syria, we are looking at another Libya, as, at the same time, we show our own double standards."@en1
