"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Assad regime has been leading the world around by the nose for 11 months now and obviously regards us all as fools. The Russian and Chinese veto has poured fuel on the fire and acted as an invitation to commit mass murder. The Assad regime is massacring its own people and the opposition. It seems to have launched a major offensive in order to create a fait accompli. There is little that we can do, but one thing is clear. We must apply tougher sanctions and they must remain in place, even if this regime believes that it can stay in power. They must only be lifted when the regime is removed or steps down. Those responsible must be brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague. We must continue to make this very clear.
We also need to put more pressure on China and Russia. We had endless debates about a trade agreement with Morocco, but we are still doing business with China and no one asks what is happening there. We need to put this in perspective and to think carefully about it. We simply cannot sit by any longer and watch people being murdered."@en1
