Amendment No. 7 | Doc. 13045 | 03 October 2012
The European response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria
Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 10, insert the following paragraphs:
"The Assembly is convinced that the problems raised by the dramatic situation of refugees and displaced persons in Syria and in neighbouring countries can only be solved if there are prospects of peace. This will only be possible through a political solution to the conflict. For this purpose, it is indispensable that:
- a common initiative of the international community emerges;
- more voices among the ranks of the supporters of the regime seriously consider the prospect of a political transition;
- extremist and fundamentalist forces among the ranks of the opposition are marginalised, and the opposition realises that a military solution is a mere delusion;
- more efforts are made to convince the Syrian democratic opposition to unify around a common political platform and leadership to be ready for the political transition."
