‘Military attack worsens Syria situation’

A United Nations official has warned that a potential military intervention in Syria will make the situation more difficult to terminate the spiraling violence in the Arab country.

According to AFP, Carla Del Ponte , who is a leading United Nations investigator, on Monday said “I can’t see a military intervention working,” stressing that “a political solution is the only possible solution.”
She said “And war will make a political solution even more difficult to reach.”
She touched upon the dire aftermath of a potential military attack on the Middle Eastern country and noted that attacking the country “will only lead to more victims, more deaths.”
She stated that instead of preparing for military strikes, the international community should enable a proper probe of the August 21 chemical attack on a Damascus suburb.

Lamenting the lack of international action toward reaching a negotiated end to the conflict she said “Now is the time to investigate… Now is the time to have the truth.”

Her comments came as Washington is struggling to secure support for military action against Syria over the accusation that the Syrian government was involved in the deadly chemical attack.
