European Parliament Head: Referring Assad to ICC Something Possible
Referring embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to the International Criminal Court is “something possible,” European Parliament chief Jerzy Buzek said on Sunday.
In an interview with the U.S.-funded, Arabic-language Radio Sawa, Buzek noted that the international community was “definitely seeking to aid the Syrian people,” but noted that “there is a difference between the Syrian issue and the Libyan issue.”
The European official denied that “regional political considerations” were hindering a possible international intervention in the Syrian crisis, adding that he knows that “Bashar al-Assad is firing at his own people, but it seems that the Syrian resistance does not have a clear platform.”
