Syria right now in the world is in a state of utter chaos… One would think that in this day and age things like civil war would be resolved quickly and the International community would step in. However, this is not the case whatsoever. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed and millions have been displaced from this war-torn country. The dispute is basically between President Assad’s regime and the Rebel forces who do not agree with the way the country is being run under Assad’s administration. The fact that the violence between both sides is continuing to this very second and the nation itself has been inhabitable is an absolutely insane thought. The main target of these senseless acts of violence has to be the many innocent civilians. Some of whom do not support either side in this ordeal. Being a Canadian left-wing individual I strongly believe in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Within this document are many rights and freedoms that are being denied to Syria right now. The right to live peacefully, the right to freedom, and the right to have an education are just some of the many rights being infringed upon right now in Syria. The fact that the UN and the international community has not done anything to stop this ongoing battle is absolutely blasphemous and really shows their lack of urgency to do anything. The fact that the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council have been vetoed by members China and Russia is something that really shocks me. Just because these two members have the power to reject any proposal why does the UN not do anything at all to help Syria? Just because Russia has a relationship with President Assad’s regime, does it mean the UN and the rest of the international community can just stop and do nothing?! Also helping either side win the war over the other is no effective solution either… If a country helps either the rebel or Assad’s regime, more people are just going to inevitably end up hurt or killed. What really should be done is getting rid of both groups and making sure the general public of Syria are okay by sending in armed troops. One overwhelming fact is that the number of refugees who’ve fled the conflict has reached one million, half of which are children! Either both sides have to come to some sort of agreement and ceasefire or the UN and the international community must step in; for the future of Syria and the future of its people.
