"In exerting their veto right in the UN Security Council, Russia and China chose to share responsibility with the al-Assad regime for the increasing death toll of civilians and children, for the crimes against humanity and the continuation of violence (Russia and China voted also against UN Human Rights Council Resolution establishing the mandate of a special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Syria and calling for human rights violations to stop and to be investigated). I do not believe this position gives credits in internal politics; the citizens of Russia must be wondering whether tolerance to the deeds of the al-Assad regime means such measures against opposition are also an option internally. The EU must utilise its dialogues with both China and Russia to persuade them to stand on the side of universal values (especially since the EU-Russia strategic and extensive partnership is declared to be built upon common values). The EU High Representative should bring a clear mandate and a united EU position to the meeting of Friends of Syria. Time is scarce, as every day takes the country closer to the vicious circle of violence, revenge, militarisation and humanitarian disaster, threatening the whole region and beyond."@en1
