Madam Chair, the United Nations Charter is not a legal technicality. If we did not have it, this world would be in a great deal more trouble.
However, I do agree with the hon. member. We should not turn away. We should never have turned away. We should not have allowed what happened in Syria to happen, with the butcher al-Assad killing his people. We turned away because it was difficult, but a community of nations working together can take action, and we need to revive the doctrine of the responsibility to protect.
