Assad Deserves a Swift Trip to The Hague
(Financial Times-UK) Madeleine Albright and Marwan Muasher - It is time for the international community to take a stand against Syria's use of violence against its citizens. The UN Security Council should direct the International Criminal Court in The Hague to investigate whether Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is guilty of crimes against humanity. Initiating an ICC investigation in Syria now would create a powerful incentive for Mr. Assad to choose reform over further repression. Madeleine Albright was U.S. secretary of state from 1997 to 2001. Marwan Muasher was foreign minister of Jordan from 2002 to 2004.
