Syria and the Arab League

Syria and the Arab League

On Saturday The Arab League agreed with The Syrian state that there would be a cessation in its persecution of protestors after the Russian Foreign Minister called for action to support peace and a more balanced coverage (according to news channel Russia Today).

I hope it lasts.

In international law regional supranational organisations such as the EU and ASEan can mediate on behalf of their member states.

The dilemma faced now is that Assads regime has already been criticised for crimes against humanity. So is a Syrian government with Bashar al assad still as president still possible under international law. Hence earlier comments by UK government ministers that his position was now untenable.
