"Mr President, I would like to thank Baroness Ashton for the information she has given us. Indeed, the terrible crimes against the civilian population attributed to both the Syrian Government and the opposition, need to be rigorously and impartially investigated in order to convict those responsible. Those crimes should not, however, give rise to military intervention such as in Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya. Those three military interventions made the world much less safe: the proof of the pudding is in the eating. An example of this is Afghanistan, which we do not know how to get out of, and where the Taliban have no less control than they did before the intervention.
This is not, therefore, the time to wage war. It is a time to promote the use of diplomatic channels. I welcome the conclusions of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, in which its Member States, including China and Russia, are calling for the use of diplomatic channels to be encouraged, and for an international summit – as suggested by Russia – on Syria and, therefore to encourage the use of diplomatic channels in all respects."@en1
