PARIS: French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Wednesday that SyriaÂ’s leader is acting like a murderer and should be sent to the International Criminal Court.
| Why not? The ICC just convicted a Congolese warlord, and now they have nothing else to do. Might as well toss Pencilneck at them; it would give them a reasonable chance of getting another conviction this decade... |
With diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed in Syria faltering, the French leader urged humanitarian corridors to allow refugees out and aid in to the country.
“We must obtain humanitarian corridors, and for that we must unblock the Russian veto and Chinese veto” at the UN Security Council, Sarkozy told Europe-1 radio.
“The French army can in no way intervene” in Syria without UN backing, Sarkozy said.
| Therefore, France will do nothing. |
Assad “is today behaving like a murderer and will have to answer for himself at the International Criminal Court,” Sarkozy said. |
