many countries seem reluctant to take on russia, who is embedded in syria.community to help in some way? well, there is a precedent for action when the security council is at a deadlock. we saw this in kosovo and we‘ve seen other times throughout history. the reality is there should be no deadlock in the security council when there are atrocities and potential genocide taking place. what russia is doing is absolutely shameful and it is incumbent on the other members of the security council to find ways outside of the security council to force the assad regime and russia to stop bombing civilian areas. if nothing is done, if nothing changes, where is this going to end for people in idlib? in a matter ofjust three months, we‘ve seen over 350,000 people displaced from their homes. if this continues, we are going to end up seeing up to 4 million people displaced, refugees, and these people have to seek refuge somewhere in the death tolls will be very high. the number of refugees that are fleeing to turkey, to europe, everywhere, will be very high and with the cu
