UN Security Council Refuses to agree on defending the citizens of Syria, because of China and Russia. 13 nations agree to act, 2 disagree. While already thousands of peaceful demonstrants have been killed in the conflict and reports were made of military personal threatening and attacking children and other helpless, non-armed people, the Security Council still isn't taking measures to ensure safety in Syria, listening to 2 countries with 2 vetos.

What is the mission of the UN Security Council?

Those are big words, yet we see nothing of that when looking at the conflict in Syria. Why not? Just because they cannot agree ...! Most of them want to!

It's time to agree ... with or without all nations included ... vetos are no excuse for murders ...

Please urge the UN Security Council to decide supporting the citizens of Syria and end this senseless killing as soon as possible ... and not when it's already to late.

 

Sign this petition to show the UN your support, it will be shared with the UN on Twitter. The more people we got, the more support they got. Support them!

 

We the undersigned urge you to ensure the safety and rights of the citizens of Syria by acting now! Please don't wait until it's too late. Freedom, safety, human rights, peace - all that is what you, the United Nations Security Council, stand for. Please don't forget the citizens of Syria! Act now, don't let those people alone, they need help there. Stand up for peace and fulfill your mission of providing security for the helpless and threatened.
We can't let people suffer and die while we have the abilities to help. There may be obstacles in the way, but this is never a reason to give up, but rather a reason to try harder. Can we surely say that any child or family is safe in Syria right now? Possibly not. Can we leave them alone? Possibly not ... because we stand up for peace and human rights and we want to live in peace together and not in chaos and war. We can't let war just happen. And this is a war. If we want to act, then this is the time. Please push to a decision finally to end it. We know most of you want to. And we will support your step!
