"Mr President, I say to Ms Mogherini: thank you for a very impressive update on the situation in Syria and I echo your comments and praise for Mr de Mistura. If anything, you were rather modest about your own role in this, and the role of your services and the European Union in cohering the international community into values-based cooperation. The EU does not do guns and tanks and bombs, thank goodness, but we can play a role acting together to facilitate a dialogue which goes somewhere. I very strongly endorse Mr Howitt’s position, from my party, the Scottish National Party, in making sure that we as the United Kingdom continue to remain part of that framework.
You are right: the cooperation is starting to deliver. That is the best description of it. There is an immediate humanitarian crisis, and I entirely support your efforts on that. I am also very keen to stress the support for Lebanon and Jordan; these are fragile states that need our total support. My question would be about accountability: there can be no peace without accountability on all sides, for all crimes in this conflict. I am glad to hear of the reopening of the Damascus office of ECHO. But my question would be: to what extent are your services assisting NGOs – or indeed individuals – domestically and internationally in gathering the evidence that we will need to ensure that accountability is part of Syria’s eventual solution?"@en1
