French presidential front-runner Macron urges military intervention in Syria

(6.4.2017) „An international intervention is needed … My preference is that there should be an intervention under the auspices of the United Nations. A military intervention,“ Macron said.

However, he said a military operation must be part of a „diplomatic and political roadmap.“

Russia has repeatedly used its veto in the past to protect the Syrian government from U.N. Security Council action.
