Hello!

I have another question about Syria..
So I'm trying to write a congressional speech about why the UN should go and help Syria.
I need to find 3 reasons to write about, but I only have 2 at the moment.
My first reason is that the President of Syria is an extreme danger to his people, and that the UN needs to go help before it gets as bad as the Kosovo War.

The U.N. wants to investigate probable human rights abuses.

You might also include helping Syrians set up a stable government.

Thank you!

That was really helpful. :)

I am not sure why you picked Kosovo. I should think the present intervention of NATO in Libya would be closer to the mark.

Yes, Assad is a danger to his people.
He is also a danger to neighboring peoples, Lebanon for example.
Every replacement of a brutal autocrat by a more liberal form of government is likely to make the entire Middle East more progressive and spur economic development that will benefit the people of the region.

You're very welcome.

Good luck with your speech.

Ah, you sound right about Libya, actually.. But I'm not big on politics so I honestly didn't know much about it.

but from what I'm seeing.. the UN is helping by enforcing the no-fly zone?
Other than that I don't really know/understand the backstory behind what is going on in Libya..

Hi there! It's great that you're writing a congressional speech about Syria. I can help you find another reason to support your argument that the UN should provide assistance.

One additional reason you could consider is the humanitarian crisis in Syria. The ongoing conflict has led to the displacement of millions of Syrians, creating one of the largest and most complex refugee situations in the world. The UN has a responsibility to protect civilians and provide support for those affected by the crisis. This reason emphasizes the importance of addressing the suffering of innocent people and ensuring their basic needs are met.

To find more information to support this reason, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by researching reputable sources to gather relevant statistics and data about the humanitarian situation in Syria. Websites like UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch are good places to start. Look for reports, news articles, or publications that focus on the humanitarian crisis in Syria.

2. Take note of key figures such as the number of displaced Syrians, the conditions they face in refugee camps, the impact on neighboring countries, and any specific issues related to vulnerable groups like children, women, and the elderly.

3. Look for anecdotes or personal stories of individuals affected by the crisis. These can add a human element to your speech and make your argument more relatable and powerful.

4. Analyze the information you have collected and consider how it supports your overall argument for UN intervention in Syria. Organize your findings in a clear and logical way, providing specific evidence and examples to make your case compelling.

By following these steps and conducting thorough research, you'll be able to find the necessary information to support your third reason. Good luck with your speech!
