German ambassador to UN: Security Council must act against Syria

Germany's ambassador to the UN, Peter Wittig, urged the Security Council to take action against Syria.

“The decision of the Arab League was a really remarkable if not historic,” Wittig told reporters at the UN, refering to the league's resolve to place sanctions on President Bashar Assad's regime. “(…) I think the council cannot stand idly by regarding what the regional organization has said so strongly: The council should take up that decision and endorse and reinforce it."
