stricken people, explaining that among the main reasons of the situation's deterioration is "the absence of a clear vision on the part of the influential forces in the international community to resolve this crisis, and the malfunctioning of the international order manifested by the double standards of the international legitimacy." "The Security Council has miserably failed to protect civilians from war crimes and genocide, committed by the Syrian regime who insists on rejecting the political solution and adopting the comprehensive military solution," the Emir added. The Emir emphasized support for a political solution to stem the Syrian bloodshed, fulfill the Syrian people's demands for change, security and stability by providing sufficient guarantees that secure their rights and achieve their fair demands as well as abide by the integrity of the Syrian land and people. "We also confirm that we are backing the Syrian people's right to defend themselves as long as the political solution is not available and as long as the great powers marginalize the issue of the people prioritizing their other interests," he said, calling upon the international community once again for an international and regional concordance and on the Security Council to "take the necessary resolution to stop the acts of killing and crimes against humanity committed by the regime, and to achieve a political solution that meets the aspirations of the Syrian people." "The current situations in many sisterly Arab countries such as Libya, Yemen and Iraq necessitate the need for combined regional and international efforts to help those countries surpass the current circumstances," said the Emir, adding: "We hope that the governments and political forces in those countries will conform to national reconciliations that can put an end to the acts of violence and address the aspirations of the people for security and stability." The Emir stressed that such reconciliation requires a "realistic and rational approach that puts the national interest above partial interests without excluding any of the social and political components," while yet rejecting all forms of fanaticism that fragment political entities. --More 21:17 LOCAL TIME 18:17 GMT تغريد
