Syria: 12 Years of Humanitarian Crisis and Polarization

The conflict in Syria has dragged on for 12 years, political solutions are at a standstill and the humanitarian crisis has escalated. The current situation indicates that the Security Council is highly polarized, and this is one of the reasons that prevents progress being made, at a high human cost. During Mexico’s most recent participation in the Council, the need to consider alternatives inside and outside the Council became clear. During that time, the role of elected members (E10) was important to find a balance.
