My question then is, how can we expect this resolution to be effective? It's obviously better than no resolution at all, but we're dealing with a very hardened government that, as I understand it from your testimony, will only let humanitarian aid into areas that it controls. Obviously it wants to keep the loyalty of people in those areas and so on.
What can a resolution like this do? Obviously it's important that the Security Council be seized and so on, but can we really say that the Syrian government, when it agrees to let humanitarian aid into non-government controlled areas, is really doing so because of the attention of the Security Council?
As a follow-up to that question, what kind of response are we getting from Russia and Iran to entreaties to prevail upon the Syrian government to allow humanitarian aid into the country into non-government controlled areas? Are Russia and Iran helping? Are they stonewalling?
What is your sense of what's going on through those diplomatic channels?
