Speaker, hon Davidson, yes, that is indeed one of the pressure points that we can try to exploit in order to ensure that there is such a consensus. As I said, our understanding now is that, on the one hand, these two - Russia in particular - is dead-set against regime change. On the other hand, the Arab League and other countries believe there has to be regime change. Within the Security Council, all these permanent members must agree or be persuaded to agree that there is a need for peace-making and that there will be investigations to ensure that whoever may have been responsible for the taking of innocent lives should be apprehended and later made to face the full might of the law.
I think the ingredients of a consensus position are available. The challenge is whether these very permanent members of the Security Council will be willing to send in their troops on the ground, because they are the ones who have the power and all the sophisticated weaponry and armoury. If they are willing to commit to send their forces to create peace, it should not be difficult under the UN auspices and supervision. It should not be difficult, and then smaller countries like ourselves can go in and contribute towards the overall peace and stability in that country.
However, I agree with you that we can't sit back and do nothing about it. We need to keep on knocking on their door. The situation was much, much better two weeks ago. It has spiralled completely out of control now. I suppose Russia, China, the United States of America and the other permanent members are now persuaded that something should happen. There is a G20 meeting coming up. Our President will be attending. I have no doubt that this matter will also have to come up for discussion on the sidelines.
