Russia proved again Tuesday that there is no crime heinous enough to make it turn against Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad. It vetoed a resolution before the UN Security Council that would have punished Syria for using chemical weapons.
How can Russia possibly be a positive force in Syria’s civil war when it vetoes a proposal in the UN to impose sanctions against Assad for using chemical weapons? The international community should provide constitutional principles that will be useful in permanent and peaceful development, yielding a structure supporting freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. In addition the heads of government branches should be directly elected to help ensure they will work to develop long-lasting peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
