France UN envoy says Syria has reached 'point of no return'

French UN Ambassador Francois Delattre said on Friday that the Syrian government's decision to again use chemical weapons meant they had reached a point of no return and the world must provide a robust, united and steadfast response.

"In deciding to once again use chemical weapons, the (Syrian) regime has reached a point of no return. France will shoulder its responsibility to end an intolerable threat to our collective security," Delattre told the Security Council.
